Augmented & Virtual Reality Eyeglass Market Strategic Outlook
Augmented reality (AR) is related to the concept of computer-mediated reality, in which a view of reality is by a computer. Augmented reality brings the objects of the digital world into a person perceived real world. AR displays can be mounted on eyeglasses. Basically difference AR & VR can be differentiated by user experience and user involvement in a situation. Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that brings the concept of computer generated object onto existing reality into person’s real world. So that person can interact with it.
