Before we get into it first we should know the full for of these terms.
AR-Augmented Reality.
VR-Virtual Reality.
Now the question arises what these terns mean.
What is AR?
In simple words Augmented Reality is mixture of real world and digital world.
Or if we elaborate more than enhancing reality using computer generated
graphics and information.so after clearing our basic what AR is next question
that comes in our mind is…
Now our next question is are we using AR in daily life? And the
answer is Yesssssss
Wonder why I wrote a big yes let me explain it to you.
Most of the people use snapchat not to chat with others but because of its
addictive filters that attracts and addict users to it. Now you would be thinking
which technology is used to make those filters…. The answer is AR. Do you
remember that doggy filter which makes your face look like a cute dog I think
that was the first filter that got trendy because of its perfect AR calibration.
What is VR?
Virtual Reality as name suggest it’s a reality but it is virtual and what does virtual
mean? A fully computer generated world that is so detailed that seems like it’s
real. If I elaborate then VR is an alternate world which can be accessed by using
VR headsets and if you want to take best experience than you might need some
additional accessories like VR Controllers. Haptic Gloves, Reality Chairs, VR
Treadmills.
How VR works?
VR works solely on VR headsets which use some principles of optics to make
you feel like you are in another world. Most basic and affordable type to
experience VR is get Google cardboard and put your mobile inside it by setting
it to VR mode and then enjoy the virtual world. With principles of optics VR
also uses gyroscope and haptic motors. I don’t think I need to tell u about
gyroscope as PUBG players know a lot about it. Haptic motor is kind of
vibrating motor that gives you feel of whenever you get hit in VR world.
