Augmented Reality (AR) is virtual reality combined with real life. It enables developers to create images within applications that augment the elements of the real world. With AR, users can interact with virtual contents in their normal reality, and also distinguish between the two.
Virtual Reality (VR) is all about creating a virtual world that users can interact with using a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment through headsets with screens inside and sensor gloves. This virtual world, that the user experiences, should be designed in such a way that identifying the reality would be a real challenge for the users.
