What is Extended Reality (XR) ?

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
