VR is a computer generated 3D environment, which engages the user in the virtual world by interacting with it. The user will be completely engaged in the environment and will be able to play around with virtual objects and also execute a series of actions.

Augmented reality (AR) AR technology helps in blending the digital content with the physical world. Computer generated images are displayed by it in the user's field of vision, and relevant information about the objects is provided in the real world. The user can scan the physical real world environment and get an enhanced or augmented experience by adding virtual computer-generated information.
