Virtual Reality?

Virtual Reality (VR) VS Augmented Reality

Virtual Reality (VR), which can be referred to as immersive

multimedia or computer-simulated life, replicates an environment

that simulates physical presence in places in the real world or

imagined worlds. Virtual reality can recreate sensory experiences,

which include virtual taste, sight, smell, sound, and touch.

Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a

physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented

(or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as

sound, video, graphics or GPS data
