Immersive technologies promise to improve the ways that various systems operate, making processes faster and more effective. It allows users to integrate virtual content with the physical environment, giving them the ability to interact naturally with this blended reality. As the world is transforming and technology is advancing quickly, immersive technology has the potential to live up to the needs of society in many ways.
Immersive technologies create distinct experiences by fusing the physical world with digital, simulated realities. Users perceive the virtual elements of their environment as a part of their reality, and slowly become less aware of what is and isn't part of their actual reality.
Augmented reality (AR), Virtual reality (VR), and Mixed reality (MR) are the three main types of immersive technologies. We will examine the different types of integrations between actual reality and simulated reality that these three types provide.
