If you’re wondering what exactly are the uses of Virtual and Augmented Reality in everyday life, you’re not alone. Yet these technologies are growing at a swift pace and several Latinas are among the leaders of this exciting field.
Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated artificial simulation of reality; our senses react as though we really are in these places or situations, interacting with them. Augmented reality uses technology to add artificial elements to real life to allow users an enhanced interaction with their surroundings.
According to Virtual Reality Society, “there are many different types of virtual reality systems but they all share the same characteristics such as the ability to allow the person to view three-dimensional images. These images appear life-sized to the person.”
