AR, VR, MR \u2013 Definitions by Wikipedia<\/h2>\n

Augmented reality<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(AR<\/strong>) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory\u00a0modalities, including\u00a0visual,\u00a0auditory,\u00a0haptic,\u00a0somatosensory,\u00a0and\u00a0olfactory.<\/p>\n

Virtual reality<\/a> (VR)<\/strong> is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world.<\/p>\n

Mixed reality<\/a> (MR)<\/strong> is the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations, where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real-time. Mixed reality does not exclusively take place in either the physical world or virtual world, but is a hybrid of augmented reality and virtual reality.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
