What is XR?

(Extended Reality)

You’ve probably heard of augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR), but what is XR? XR covers it all. Short for “extended reality,” XR encompasses the full spectrum of those real and virtual environments, including AR, VR, and mixed reality (MR).

Get to Know the World of XR

Augmented Reality (AR)

Augmented reality is an immersive technology that superimposes a computer-generated image atop physical surfaces or objects in the real world when viewed by the user through an AR device like AR glass, HoloLens, smartphone, tablet, etc. You’ve probably experience AR on a number of apps already.

Virtual Reality (VR)

Virtual reality uses computer modeling and simulation that enables a person to interact with an artificial three-dimensional (3D) visual or other sensory environment. VR applications immerse the user in a computer-generated environment that simulates reality through the use of interactive devices, which send and receive information and are worn as goggles, headsets, gloves, or body suits.

Mixed Reality (MR)

Mixed Reality brings together real world and digital elements. You interact with and manipulate both physical and virtual items and environments, using next-generation sensing and imaging technologies. Mixed Reality allows you to see and immerse yourself in the world around you even as you interact with a virtual environment using your own hands.
