In the tech world, we see AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) as the most discussed topics after AI. To put it simply, we define AR as blending new digital images into the real world, while VR allows us to temporarily leave the real world and enter a completely new, fully immersive digital one. Previously, we thought these only existed in sci-fi movies, but now they have reached the phones in our hands.
AR technology is not new to us. We might remember playing Pokemon Go on mobile phones over 8 years ago; that was a major use of AR technology. We can also see how AR works when we test IKEA furniture in our own homes before buying.
Why do we find AR so interesting?
Simply put, we use AR to insert digital technology into our daily lives to make things more exciting. For example:
Have we ever tried using TikTok filters on our faces?
Have we used creative effects in our Instagram stories?
Did we know we can try on Nike shoes online?
Have we ever played AR games by scanning our surroundings with our phone cameras?
All of these represent the power of AR technology.
What about the VR? Why is it special to us?
VR (Virtual Reality) makes us feel like we have traveled to another world.
By wearing a VR headset, we feel as if we have arrived in a completely different reality.
When playing games, we can feel like we have become the characters ourselves.
We can walk through virtual galleries.
We can even experience climbing a mountain from inside our homes.
What are the differences we see between them?
1. Usage Differences AR
We can start using it with just a smartphone.
It is great for our daily use.
We can use it while moving around outside.
VR
We need VR glasses or a specific VR headset.
We need to set aside dedicated time to use it.
We require a free space to move around safely.
2. Hardware and Cost AR
We only need a phone to start.
Besides phones, we can now use Smart Glasses (e.g., Xreal, Ray-Ban Meta), but for the basic level, our phone is the main device.
VR
Currently, we find the equipment expensive to purchase.
We usually have to buy games separately to play.
3. Application Areas AR
Education – We use 3D models for learning in classrooms.
Shopping – We can try on clothes virtually.
Marketing – Our brands create innovative advertisements.
Games – We enjoy mobile games like Pokémon GO.
VR
Games – We play in fully imaginary worlds.
Training – We use it for flight simulations and surgical training for doctors.
Events – We attend virtual concerts and museum tours.
