Let’s first sort out the differences and similarities between the immersive technologies.

What is Augmented Reality?

The first of the lot, AR technology makes use of flat screens and smart devices (eg. mobile phones) to superimpose digital images, graphics, sound, etc. on real-world environment. The real world is still in focus, but with digital features, it is enhanced for improved CX.

AR app development services quite naturally has gained popularity as more businesses are finding benefits in AR development and use.

Examples of AR development apps: Furniture brands IKEA, uses AR apps to allow users to check how a certain furniture will fit in their homes.

User uses headsets and connects devices to be virtually transported into a make-believe world, also able to feel all sensory characteristics such as sound and sight.

VR app development services has been the turning point in several industries, gaming, and entertainment leading the race, with healthcare and Edtech close behind.

Examples of VR apps for iOS and Android: In the Travel sector, Google Street View and eve Google Art and Culture is redefining how users commute, travel and discover places.
