Tulsa AR / VR Software Engineering School

What are Augmented and Virtual Reality?

Augmented Reality refers to experiences that use devices like your cell phone to allow you to interact digitally with the world around you. Simple things like scanning a QR code or more advanced technology like Snapchat/TikTok filters that change the appearance of your face are everyday Augmented Reality experiences.

Virtual Reality refers to entirely digital experiences using dedicated devices, like a VR headset that completely masks your vision with a small computer screen, fully immersing you in a digital world. The metaverse refers, in part, to a digital world accessible through these kinds of devices.
