How is Augmented Reality (AR) different from Virtual Reality (VR)?

Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are two distinct technologies used in different ways.

AR is a technology that overlays digital information, such as images or data, onto the real world through a device such as a smartphone or headset, while VR is a technology that immerses the user in a fully digital world or environment through a headset or other device. AR enhances the real world with digital information, while VR creates a completely new digital world.
