What is X-Reality (XR)?
X-Reality (XR) is an umbrella term encompassing all forms of immersive technologies that blend the real and virtual worlds. This includes Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Extended Reality (ER), creating interactive experiences that enhance or replace a user’s perception of reality. XR technologies are used in gaming, education, healthcare, training, and more. Examples include using a VR headset for virtual tourism or using AR glasses to overlay digital information onto the real world.
Q&A
What’s the difference between AR and VR?
AR overlays digital content onto the real world, often through a smartphone or AR glasses. VR creates entirely simulated environments that replace the user’s real surroundings, requiring a headset for immersion.
How is XR used in industries beyond gaming?
XR has applications in medical training (simulating surgeries), architectural design (visualizing buildings), and manufacturing (remote collaboration and maintenance). It’s revolutionizing how people interact with technology and information.
