AR, VR, MR: What are they and how they are different from each other

1

Apple’s announcement of the Vision Pro spatial computer and Meta’s Quest 3 Mixed Reality headset has brought AR, VR, and MR back into the spotlight. AR overlays additional information onto the real world, while VR immerses users in a digital realm. MR combines virtual and real worlds, allowing users to interact with virtual objects in their environment. Each technology has different device types, immersion levels, and primary use cases. AR is commonly used for navigation and education, VR for gaming and simulations, and MR for design and remote collaboration.
