What is the difference between virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality?

Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) 

are all technologies that alter our perception of the environment around

 us, but they do so in different ways:

1. **Virtual Reality (VR)**:

  - VR is a completely immersive experience that transports users to a digital, 

computer-generated environment.   - Users typically wear a 

VR headset that covers their eyes and ears, blocking out the physical 

world and replacing it with a simulated one.
   - VR is commonly used in gaming, simulations, training,

 and entertainment.

2. **Augmented Reality

 (AR)**: - AR overlays digital content onto the real world, blending

 the virtual and physical environments together.
   - Unlike VR, AR does not replace the real world but enhances it by

 adding digital elements such as images, videos, or information.
   - AR is often experienced through smartphone or tablet screens, 

special AR glasses, or heads-up displays (HUDs).

   - Applications of AR include gaming (e.g., Pokémon GO), 

navigation, education, and marketing.

3. **Mixed Reality (MR)**:
   - MR combines elements of both VR and AR, allowing virtual objects
 to interact with the real world and vice versa.
   - MR technology enables virtual objects to be anchored to the 
physical environment and respond to real-world inputs.
   - Users can interact with both digital and physical objects simultaneously,
 creating a more seamless and immersive experience.
   - MR is still an evolving technology, with applications ranging from 
gaming and entertainment to industrial design and remote collaboration.
In summary, while VR immerses users in a completely virtual environment,

 AR enhances the real world with digital elements, and MR merges the virtual

 and physical worlds to create new interactive experiences.
