Assignment Topic: Difference between Virtual Reality and
Augmented Reality
Submitted To: Sir zeeshan

Before
going to see difference between Virtual Reality and
Augmented Reality, first we should know what are these two things. So I will
try to explain little bit overview about realities then I will try to Wright
little bit idea about differences between virtual reality and augmented
reality.
Over view:
Today
technology is improving rapidly , as we know that many things are possible
today’s, but were not possible in 15 or20 years ago even we
were trying to make it happen, but could not able to success. Today are going
to be possible those things in form of virtual reality and augmented reality.
But what are they let’s see.
After
1990s the virtual reality was on everyone lips as many companies were trying to
make it happens , but those all companies were failed to make it happen.
The most notable device back then was the
Nintendo virtual boy, thought it failed miserable, and discontinued a year after going on sale, then
Nintendo has never attempted improve on the technology, which could set the
company behind its competition as virtual reality is slowly coming to back into
our lives. When it comes to augmented reality,
we're looking at something that has found more success in the consumer space
when compared to virtual reality. We've seen several applications with AR,
along with video game and hardware devices such as the Google Glass. It is
clear that the way things are right now, AR has the upper hand against VR, and
that might not be changing anytime soon.
What is the augmented
reality
Augmented
reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of physical ,real world
environment whose elements are augmented by computer generated sensory.
Example :
Sound,
videos, graphics, and GPS data.
While some of us are still getting to grips
with this reality, designers, engineers and developers are busy building new
ones. Augmented reality (AR) enhances what we see via smartglasses which overlay
3D, contextually aware graphics on to our view of the real-world environment.
In other words, Google Glass isn’t dead yet.
What is the virtual reality
Virtual reality (VR) also known as immersive
multimedia or computer simulated reality, is a computer technology that
replicates an environment, real or imagined, and simulates a user’s physical
presence and environment in a way that allow the user to interact with it.
Example:
Virtual
reality (VR) completely immerses us in an alternate, 360-degree world, either
live action or computer animated, using a headset that tracks head movements.
Accessories include headphones, motion-tracking controllers and gloves. Aldous
Huxley would run a mile if presented with an Oculus Rift headset, but for the
converted, VR in 2015 is simply unlike anything else

1.
|
How these technologies
works
|
Immerses
the wearer in a 360-degree, 3D-environment; spatial sound and motion-tracking
optional
|
Overlays 3D graphics on
to the wearer’s view of the real-world environment
|
|

|
Examples
|
Oculus Rift, Samsung Gear VR, Google Cardboard, HTC Vive, Sony
Project Morpheu

3.
|
Main benefits
|
Transports the wearer to another environment; low-cost mobile
VR with innovative accessories
|
Wearer
remains engaged in the real world and keeps hands free; glasses rather than
headset
|
|
4.
|
Main hurdles
|
Simulation sickness and input; needs apps, experiences and
games ready for launch
|
Small
field of view, expensive hardware, fashion form factor required and needs
apps/games
|
|
5.
|
Biggest deals
|
Facebook paid $2 billion (£1.3 billion) for Oculus VR in 2014
|
Magic
Leap raised $542 million (£346 million) from Google, Qualcomm and others in
2014
