A world of difference

VIRTUAL reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) refer to the experience of a high resolution graphic or photographic environment through a cutting-edge device, such as a headset or eyeglass-type terminal, that draws on advanced displays, graphics semiconductors, motion sensors, and headphone technologies.

VR and AR allow users to take in new information via recognition of artificially-created objects or by seeing things that are usually difficult to discern.

VR involves a goggle-type display that completely covers the field of view. Wearing the display, users experience the illusion of inhabiting an artificial space.
