Virtual reality creates a simulated reality through wearable technology like headsets, immersing users by stimulating their vision and hearing. It is used for gaming, entertainment, and professional training through simulators. Augmented reality overlays digital elements onto the real world through mobile apps, blending virtual and real environments, whereas virtual reality fully immerses users in a simulated setting.
Virtual Reality vs Augmented Reality - Knowing the Difference
- 1. Virtual Reality vs Augmented Reality Knowing the Difference
- 2. What is virtual reality? Virtual reality (VR) is an artificial, computer-generated simulation or recreation of a real life environment or situation. It immerses the user primarily by stimulating their vision and hearing.

VR gaming can make actions lifelike and turn real environments into virtual landscapes. Virtual reality is also used for simulated environments for professionally based training - flight simulators, language learning, and other use cases.
- 5. What’s augmented reality? Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that layers interactive, virtual enhancements atop an existing reality. AR is developed into apps and used on mobile devices to blends digital components.
- 6. The Mixed Reality Comparison Virtual reality offers a digital recreation of a real life setting, while augmented reality delivers virtual elements as an overlay to the real world.
