Augmented Reality integrates digital information with the user’s environment in real-time.
Virtual Reality, on the other hand, creates an entirely artificial environment for its users.
Users of Augmented Reality get to experience a real-world environment with generated perceptual information.
Augmented Reality blends digital components as well as third-dimensional components into an individual’s perception of the real world.
If you are still finding it a little difficult to understand what this Augmented Reality actually is, then take the example of the once-popular game Pokemon Go. This game was the most popular at that time, and almost everyone was playing it.
It was a product of Augmented Reality, and for those of you for whom the name of Pokemon Go is totally an alien concept, then let me tell you that a few years back, almost everyone was playing this game and it included you to open your camera and locate where the pokemon was hiding. You would be seeing everything as it is, except for an additional component will also be visible on your screen, as if it exists in reality as well.
So that is what it means to create an element in the original environment, and that is what Augmented Reality is all about.
