Abstract:

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are two rapidly developing technologies that are expanding the human experience. AR refers to the overlaying of digital information on the physical world, while VR is a fully immersive digital experience that simulates a virtual world. AR and VR are revolutionizing various industries, from gaming and entertainment to education and healthcare. The introduction of AR/VR has opened up new possibilities for human interaction with digital content, providing an enhanced experience that feels almost real. In this chapter, we will explore the concepts of AR and VR, their history, and their current status, as well as their potential future applications. An image related to AR/VR technology could be a person wearing a VR headset or someone holding a mobile device with AR overlayed on the screen.
