What is the primary difference between virtual reality and augmented reality?

• Virtual reality creates a completely immersive environment, while augmented reality overlays digital content onto the real world.

• Virtual reality only works with sound, while augmented reality only works with visuals

• Virtual reality is only used for gaming, while augmented reality is used for practical applications

• Virtual reality and augmented reality are the same thing

How does mixed reality combine elements of both virtual reality and augmented reality?

• By projecting digital content onto a screen without integrating it with the physical environment.

• By only using digital content without any interaction with the physical environment.

• By completely replacing the physical environment with digital content.

• By integrating digital content with the physical environment in real time.

What are some common applications of immersive simulations?

• Sleeping, eating, and socializing
