Extended Reality (XR) is an umbrella term encompassing various technologies that blend the physical and digital worlds. It includes:
• Virtual Reality (VR): Creates fully immersive digital environments where users are transported to a different reality.
• Augmented Reality (AR): Overlays digital information or objects onto the real world, enhancing our perception of reality.
• Mixed Reality (MR): Combines elements of both VR and AR, allowing for interaction between digital and physical objects in a shared space.
How Does XR Work?
XR technologies utilize a combination of hardware and software to create these immersive experiences. Key components include:
• Headsets/Displays: Devices like VR headsets, AR glasses, and head-mounted displays present digital content to the user.
• Sensors: Cameras, GPS, accelerometers, and gyroscopes track the user's location, movement, and interactions with the environment.
• Software: Powerful software is used to render 3D graphics, p
