What is the difference between virtual reality and augmented reality?
assistant
The main difference between virtual reality and augmented reality is that virtual reality replaces the user's real-world environment with a simulated, computer-generated environment, while augmented reality enhances it by overlaying digital objects and information onto the user’s real-world environment. Virtual reality is experienced in a completely simulated environment, while augmented reality allows the user to keep one foot in the real world while exploring and interacting with a virtual environment.
