Development Complexity
Developing for VR involves creating an entire environment from scratch, while AR development focuses on integrating digital elements with the real world.
Perceptual Focus
VR controls all sensory input to fully engage the user in a virtual world, while AR only provides supplemental sensory information to the user's perception of the real world.
Use Cases
VR is often used for gaming, simulations, and training, whereas AR is used for data augmentation, navigation, and enhancing real-world tasks.
User Interaction
Interaction within VR is with a fully virtual space, AR allows interaction with virtual objects superimposed in the physical world.
Content Persistence
Virtual objects in VR exist only while the user is using the system, while AR can anchor digital content to real-world objects, often viewable by multiple users.
Hardware Used
VR generally requires headsets or specialized rooms, whereas AR can be accessed through smartphones and smart glasses.
Space Requirements
VR requires a safe, uncluttered space to prevent accidents, AR can be used on the go with no special space requirements.
Immersion Level
VR is fully immersive, substituting the real world, while AR overlays digital content onto the real-world environment.
