Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment with scenes and objects that appears to be real. It makes the user feel they are immersed in their surroundings. We can interact with these surroundings using special controllers.

Augmented Reality (AR) is the integration of digital information with the user's environment in real time. The key difference between AR and VR is that the VR lets us enter a whole new world and lets us experience it whereas the AR makes us experience the digital information into a user's environment.

Differences between AR and VR:
