Extended Reality
Extended Reality (XR) is an emerging term used to describe environments with real and virtual components and human-machine interactions generated by computer technology and wearables. As it stands today, the term XR encompasses three primary technologies:
- Virtual Reality (VR), which is immersive (headset and goggles required)
- Augmented Reality (AR), which is additive (think Snapchat Lenses)
- Mixed Reality (MR), which integrates the digital and physical worlds seamlessly by utilizing elements of AR and VR technology
