Definition:

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) make it possible to combine the real and virtual worlds. AR is generally accessed via mobile phones and primarily relies on lenses. AR effects can be created by using lenses in social media apps, for example. AR is also used for displaying digital 3D objects in our surroundings, e.g., in gaming or eCommerce apps. Meanwhile, VR technology allows users to dive into the virtual world, and, unlike AR technology, it requires a headset device which enables the creation of virtual worlds.
