AUGMENTED REALITY IS NOT VIRTUAL REALITY

Slide 6

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE? Virtual Reality completely immerses the user in a digital environment. It responds to movement and action from the user but doesnt interact with the existing environment. Augmented Reality places itself into the existing reality. It relies on cues from the user and from the space around the user to function. HINT: If the screen is completely covered by digital content it is probably not augmented reality.
