Difference between AR and VR

AR places virtual objects on top of the real world, such as a digital character  on your desk. In VR, the user is 100% immersed in a digital environment.

Explore AR and VR

Mixed reality

An advanced version of AR, where digital objects interact with the real world - such as watching a virtual ball bouncing off a real-world wall.

MIXED REALITY

AR and AI

Learn how artificial intelligence (AI) integrates with augmented reality (AR) to enhance the user's interaction with the real world.

AR AI

Artificial Reality

Artificial realities are digitally created or enhanced environments that blend in (or replace) the real world using mixed reality, VR or AR technology.

xr / Extended reality

XR = AR + VR + mixed reality.
It's a collective term for next-gen technologies that offer highly immersive experiences which offer value unachievable with other technologies.

Extended Reality / XR

dynamic AR experience

3D information can be streamed into an XR app at run-time - effectively allowing content to be far larger or more detailed, resulting in a much more memorable and effective experience.
