Design Design Design! → Part LXI: Exploring Virtual and Augmented Realities
Welcome to Design Design Design! This series of articles focuses on a variety of topics related to design. Whether a beginner or a seasoned professional, you’ll find something here to further your design knowledge.
What are Virtual and Augmented Reality?
Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment that can be interacted with using specialized hardware, such as a VR headset. Augmented reality (AR) is similar, but it involves overlaying digital information onto the real world, rather than creating a completely separate environment. Both VR and AR have the potential to create incredibly immersive experiences that blur the line between the digital and physical worlds.
Virtual and augmented realities are cutting-edge technologies that are revolutionizing the way we interact with the digital world. As a designer, understanding these technologies and their potential applications is crucial for staying ahead of the curve and creating innovative, immersive experiences.
