Virtual and Augmented Reality

The future is already here!

Revolutionary technologies that have changed the world! Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are two different technologies that are changing the way we interact with the environment, allowing us to create a simulation of the real world in a virtual environment using specialized equipment such as VR headsets or motion controllers. To create virtual reality, 3D models of objects and surfaces are used, which can be generated using laser scanning! Therefore, the main difference between VR and AR is that VR creates a completely virtual environment, disconnecting the user from the real world, while AR adds digital elements to the real world, preserving interaction with reality.

ВVirtual Reality (VR) creates a completely artificial environment that entirely separates the user from the real world. Users wear VR headsets that immerse them in a digital space filled with visual and auditory effects. Virtual reality can be used to create simulations and imitations of real or imaginary environments, such as games, training, virtual tours, and more. In VR, users can move around and interact with the virtual world, but they do not see or interact with the real world around them.

New frontiers in visualization and Interaction!

Augmented Reality (AR), on the other hand, adds digital elements to the real world while maintaining perception and interaction with the surrounding environment. Unlike VR, AR does not require complete isolation of the user from reality. Typically, AR applications run on smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses. AR can display additional information, objects, or graphics overlaid onto the real-world image for the user. Examples of AR usage include smartphone apps that allow users to see virtual objects or information displayed on the device screen using the camera.
