How to distinguish VR, AR and MR?

Two years ago, the scientific and technological community set off a wave of VR virtual reality. Many people even think that 20 16 is the first year of VR, and major manufacturers have also introduced VR devices that emphasize game immersion. Subsequently, the treasure-winning craze that shocked the world subverted the gameplay and application of mobile games, making AR augmented reality technology a popular fried chicken. With the continuous evolution of technology, it seems that another superstar is about to debut, that is Mr. Mixed Reality Technology, but what is the so-called Mr.? What is the difference with AR and VR? What is the difference in the impact on somatosensory games? This makes you understand all at once!

VR Virtual Reality: Everything you see is fake!

Of course, to understand the difference between MR mixed reality and VR virtual reality, we must first understand what VR is. The so-called VR virtual reality means that everything you see is virtual after wearing a VR headset. At present, the common products on the market include HTC Vive, Oculus Rift and Sony PlayStation VR helmet. These are all computer simulations. The sense of presence and immersion is particularly strong. In other words, it is easy for you to experience reality, but because what you see is virtual, it is easy to feel dizzy. For the safety of users, Sony even suggests sitting and using it to avoid accidents when players are too involved in virtual reality.

AR Augmented Reality: Adding False Things to Your Real World

With last year's treasure-catching craze, Poké mon can be seen everywhere in our world, making people all over the world know about ar augmented reality. Simply put, the so-called AR technology is a technology that extends virtual information to real space. It will not isolate you from the real world, but add virtual objects to the real world.

For example, the recent selfie APPB6 12, Snow and even the photo special effects built into Facebook can immediately put on special makeup to take funny selfies, which are all so-called AR enhancement effects. Because they can be operated on mobile phones, there is no need to buy additional equipment, and the application level is quite extensive. Even the recently launched iPhone 8 has built-in AR applications, which also makes AR technology attract considerable attention.

MR mixed reality: the fusion of AR+VR virtual and real world

Since 20 15 Microsoft introduced HoloLens glasses, the mixed reality MR with AR and VR effects has become a popular star. The so-called MR is a comprehensive interactive type, which combines AR and VR, grasps the advantages of both, creates a more realistic mixed reality, and combines the real world with the virtual world to create a new environment and a virtual image that conforms to general visual cognition. Among them, objects in the real world can coexist with objects in the digital world and interact instantly, so that images in the virtual world can interact with themselves very truly, making it difficult for people to tell the difference between them.

The glasses of the early HoloLens developer version cost as much as $3,000. Fortunately, with the maturity of MR technology and the vigorous promotion of Microsoft, many manufacturers such as Acer, Lenovo, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, Asus and so on. This year, we have cooperated with Microsoft to launch the affordable version of MR mixed reality head-mounted display, and the price is about 299-450 US dollars. It is expected to be listed one after another at the end of this year, which is equivalent to announcing the official arrival of the affordable MR era!
