Augmented Reality -

AR has evolved at a rapid pace getting used in lots of other purposes of commercial need and individual needs. The rising investments in AR market and increasing demands from retail, healthcare and entertainment sectors are the main drivers here.
Google has made its own Google Glass – wearable AR device that gets you digital information by just nodding your head.

Did you know? NASA used an augmented reality dashboard for navigation of X-38. Astronaut, Scott Kelly, used this dashboard to report back to mission control from space.
Virtual Reality –
You will probably go to mars, swim with dolphins, or at the top of Mt. Everest. Virtual Reality will help you on the next universe because of the computing that has been created to give you Goosebumps. However, Virtual Reality is a technology where you can move around, look everywhere and in every direction to make you feel as if you were psychically present there.
It is computer technology to create a stimulated environment, placing the user inside the experience to a whole new world. It stimulates senses of the users, like hearing, vision, touch or sometimes even smell. Isn’t that cool? This could be artificial or any real photographed place to give you an out-of-the-world experience.

Other than games and entertainment VR industry is taking part in health care field like to treat depression, anxiety, autism, and even nicotine addiction. That’s too much of awesomeness for the VR industry! Spending on location-based VR is expected to account for an additional $700 million.

Virtual Reality has many types and many uses for both entertainment and serious uses. This technology is becoming very cheap, widespread and common. We can also expect to watch out for many innovative and interesting uses of this in the near future. Thanks to Virtual Reality.
Conclusion –
VR and AR accomplish two different things in two very different ways. We believe that these are two very powerful industries that are yet to make a huge remark with consumers. We also think that new developer programs in these industries can take place and there’s no telling how popular this technology could be.
