Augmented reality is used to enhance natural
environments or situations and offer perceptually enriched experiences. With
the help of advanced AR technologies (e.g. adding computer vision and object
recognition) the information about the surrounding real world of the user
becomes interactive and digitally manipulable.
Current VR technology most commonly
uses virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments,
sometimes in combination with physical environments or props, to generate
realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical
presence in a virtual or imaginary environment.
Augmented reality (AR) adds digital elements to a live view
often by using the camera on a smartphone. Examples of augmented reality
experiences include Snapchat lenses and the game Pokemon Go. Virtual
reality (VR) implies a complete immersion experience that shuts out the
physical world.
Augmented Reality technology can be applied to all kind of
fields and levels of knowledge. However, it is true that it maximizes
its benefits when it comes to Skills Training. AR provides
the perfect mix between reality and virtual reality, so real physical
devices can be used while saving costs and reducing risks.
