Virtual Reality is the use of software and devices to simulate a 'real world' environment in which the user feels completely immersed. Often, this includes not just sight, but sound and gestures.
Examples include: HTC Vive Pro, Oculus Go, and Google Cardboard.
Augmented Reality, a mix of real world surroundings and digitally added features, is a similar concept that has become more popular as technology improves.
Examples of augmented reality include: Microsoft Hololens, the Pokemon Go! app, and the Fetch app for the Structure Sensor (available at the Tech Desk).
