Augmented reality (AR) adds digital elements to a live view often through the use of cameras or lenses, while Virtual reality (VR) implies a complete immersion experience that shuts out the physical world. Mixed reality (MR) is the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations, where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time. Extended (XR) reality is a term referring to all real-and-virtual combined environments and human-machine interactions generated by computer technology and wearables.
