Augmented Reality (AR) vs. Virtual Reality (VR): What's the Difference?
The terms "virtual reality" and "augmented reality" get thrown around a lot these days. VR headsets, such as the Oculus Quest or Valve Index, and AR apps and games, such as Pokémon Go, are still popular. They sound similar, and as the technologies evolve, they bleed into each other a bit. But they're two very different concepts, with characteristics that distinctly distinguish one from the other.
What Is Virtual Reality?
VR headsets completely take over your vision to give you the impression that you're somewhere else. The HTC Vive Cosmos, the PlayStation VR, the Oculus Quest, the Valve Index, and other headsets are opaque, blocking out your surroundings when you wear them. If you put them ON when they're turned Off, you might as well think you're blindfolded.
When the headsets turn On, however, the LCD or OLED panels inside are refracted by the lenses to fill your field of vision with whatever is being displayed. It can be a game, a 360-degree video, or just the virtual space of the platforms' interfaces. Visually, you're taken to wherever the headset wants you to go—the outside world is replaced with a virtual one.
For both games and apps, virtual reality supersedes your surroundings, taking you to other places thus making your physical presence obsolete. In games, you might sit in the cockpit of a starfighter. In apps, you might virtually tour distant locations as if you were there. Thereare tons of possibilities in VR, and they all involve replacing everything around you with something else.
What Is Augmented Reality?
AR devices, such as the Microsoft HoloLens and various enterprise-level "smart glasses," are transparent, letting you see everything in front of you as if you are wearing a weak pair of sunglasses.
The technology is designed for free movement while projecting images over whatever you look at. The concept extends to smartphones with AR apps and games, such as Pokémon Go, which uses your phone's camera to track your surroundings and overlay additional information on top of it, on the screen.
AR displays can offer something as simple as a data overlay that shows the time, to something as complicated as holograms floating in the middle of a room. Pokémon Go projects a Pokémon on your screen, on top of whatever the camera is looking at. The HoloLens and other smart glasses, meanwhile, let you virtually place floating app windows and 3D decorations around you.
This technology has a distinct disadvantage compared with virtual reality, i.e. Visual Immersion. While VR completely covers and replaces your field of vision, AR apps only show up on your smartphone or tablet screen, and even the HoloLens can only project images in a limited area in front of your eyes. It isn't very immersive when a hologram disappears once it moves out of a rectangle in the middle of your vision, or when you must stare at a small screen while pretending that the object on that screen is in front of you.
