While often used interchangeably, **augmented reality (AR)** and **virtual reality (VR)** are distinct technologies. **AR** overlays digital information onto the real world, enhancing your current view. Think of using a smartphone app that shows furniture in your living room before you buy it; you’re still seeing your actual room, but with an added digital layer. **VR**, conversely, creates a fully immersive, computer-generated environment that replaces your real-world view entirely. When you wear a **VR headset**, you become visually and sometimes audibly transported to a completely different digital space, like exploring a virtual world or playing a **VR video game.** Both technologies are forms of **extended reality (XR)**, but they offer fundamentally different user experiences, with AR blending digital with reality and VR creating entirely new realities.
