The difference between augmented reality or AR and virtual reality or VR lies in the device they need and the overall experience they offer. Let us understand the difference between AR and VR below.
- Augmented reality makes use of a setting like the real world, while virtual reality happens to be entirely virtual.
- Augmented reality can be accessed with a smartphone, tablet, or other devices, but virtual reality necessarily needs a headset device.
- Users of augmented reality are able to control their presence in the real-world setting, whereas the users of virtual reality cannot control themselves and are controlled by the system.
- Augmented reality enhances both the real world as well as the virtual world, while virtual reality enhances only a fictional reality.
