Augmented Reality (AR) is based on the blending of interactive digital elements such as visual overlays, and sensory projections into real-world environments. It provides the user an enhanced version of reality, where computer-generated images is imposed over the user’s view. Since Augmented Reality uses the existing natural environment and overlays the digital information on it, users experience a new natural environment where there are digital tools to provide them assistance in day-to-day activities. Filters from the Snapchat app, QR codes, and mobile game “Pokemon Go” from Nintendo are the most common examples of Augmented Reality.

Virtual Reality (YR) uses computer technology to create a virtual simulated environment. By simulating human senses, such as, vision, hearing, touch and sometimes even smell, users are immersed into interactive virtual 3D environments. Head Mounted Display (HMO), HTC Vive Pro Eye, Oculus Quest and PlayStation YR are the most examples.

As per the latest report by marketresearch.com, YR products were valued at $1.37 billion in 2015 and its market is expected to reach $33.9 billion by 2022. On the other hand, the overall AR market was valued at $2.35 billion in 2015 and is expected to increase to $11 7.4 billion by the year 2022.
