| What is Virtual and Augmented Reality? |
Virtual Reality
This technology immerses users in a completely virtual environment that is generated by a computer. The most advanced VR experiences even provide freedom of movement – users can move in a digital environment and hear sounds. Moreover, special hand controllers can be used to enhance VR experiences.
You need to wear a special VR headset to experience virtual reality. Most VR headsets are connected to a computer (Oculus Rift) or a gaming console (PlayStation VR) but there are standalone devices (Google Cardboard is among the most popular) as well. Most standalone VR headsets work in combination with smartphones – you insert a smartphone, wear a headset, and immerse in the virtual reality.
Augmented Reality
In augmented reality, users see and interact with the real world while digital content is added to it. If this sounds unclear think of Pokemon Go – millions of people all over the world have been rushing with their smartphones in search for small virtual creatures. That’s the most vivid example of augmented reality.
If you own a modern smartphone, you can easily download an AR app and try this technology. There’s a different way to experience augmented reality, though – with special AR headsets, such as Google Glass, where digital content is displayed on a tiny screen in front of a user’s eye.

The Business Focus |
The reason why Augmented Reality in business is much more successful is because of its ubiquity, while VR is more focused. VR’s main forte is in the fact that it completely immerses a user into virtual reality which makes it an excellent tool for gaming or 3D films. According to the report, Augmenter Reality in business can address the market of smartphones and tablets as they both cannibalize and grow it. The possibilities and fields of augmented reality apps for business are great.
“This is only the beginning of augmented reality applications. Here at Perfectial, we are actively involved in studying and implementing the technology. By using augmented reality we were able to contribute to business applications of ARKit and create a couple of concepts.” says Dmytro Skorokhod, iOS developer, and ARKit expert.
Slowly but surely, augmented and virtual reality is changing the shape of commerce. Tractica made a prognosis that by 2021 an installed base of actively used augmented reality apps will grow to more than 2.2 billion apps.
