Augmented reality vs. virtual reality: AR and VR made clear

Two technologies that are confusingly similar, but utterly different.

Trying to be concise I will say this: VR is a separate reality where the user can maneuver about. AR is putting virtual things in the area of reality the user is in. Is that accurate?

The explanation was so clear and I finally understand what is the difference between AR and VR. Thank you so much for the video!!

- Virtual Reality
- replaces the world that you're standing in with a virtual one. you will feel that you are in that "world" even if you're just in your room or somewhere else.

- Augmented Reality
- additional information or graphics are added in reality, which of course can only be seen on our screens but not present in the real world (example: filters in messenger)

This is an EXCELLENT presentation. Please give the journalist behind this a massive raise!

[PhirunKao]

Very clear explanation. My question was clearly answered by this video. Many thanks for sharing!

Why not just combine the best of AR and VR into one device? I love the idea of AR but it just feels clunky and awkward having to hold a smartphone or tablet everywhere for interaction, plus with VR integration AR would be 100% more realistic and immersive.

we need this for Yugioh. Like Yugioh Zexal. It's AR.

Thank you so much mr.brian cooley for your explination

[viruscomputer]

you have more use of ar bc in the future when you have problem with coocking and stuff it will show you how to in a way but vr is more for other stuff

[odidajames]

The presentation and explanation was up top 👏👏

Hopefully, next gen VR headsets will have cameras that allow them to work as both an AR and VR device. As a daily user of PSVR, I am looking forward to PSVR 2 and PlayStation 5. If Sony adds a PlayStation Phone to the mix, which can connect to PSVR2, allowing you to take AR/VR anywhere, I think things will really start taking off.
I am currenty playing Gran Turismo Sport VR. Combine with my Logitech G29 Wheel and Pedals, it is a full on driving simulator. For all you Battle Royal fans, Rec Royal is a Free 2 Play, and you will never go back 2 PUBG or Fortnite once you have expereinced the playing with others in VR.

I just did vr and I always questioned it

[Idfktbhdude]

Very clear thanks now I understand what ar means

[djprogramer]

It's so annoying. MR was just a marketing term. It was used to refer to games like Pokemon Go.

VR and AR were born at the same time since the first device used a transparent screen to display basic wired 3d objects when some engineers were developing it.

[SargonvonThule]

Pokémon go was announced As AR but wasn't even close by it...

[navneeths]

Thank you for looking for something like

[abdulkarim.jamal.kanaan]

it's very informative and clearly explained. One useful phrase I liked I'm not able to catch fully @0:16 . "... so we can compare and contrast what each of them does, so they you instead of overwelmed" can anyone tell me what the missing word is.

[jacky_mo]

Was this video made for my grandparents?

[jsmit]

Brian Cooley? Haven't heard that name in years..

[razo]

So basically it's all about which world you want to visualize. Ar for our world and vr for another world
