AR and VR: The future of technology and its applications

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are innovative technologies that are changing our interaction with the digital world. They open up new opportunities in various fields, from entertainment to medicine and education.

  • Augmented Reality (AR):What's it?: A technology that superimposes digital elements (images, text, 3D models) onto the real world through the screen of a smartphone, tablet or special glasses.Examples: Games like Pokémon GO, or interior furniture visualization apps like IKEA Place.

AR and VR are expected to be increasingly integrated into our daily lives. For example, in the future we may see the appearance of smart glasses with the ability to display additional information right in front of our eyes, or the widespread use of virtual classrooms and workspaces.

These technologies are already beginning to shape a new reality, and those who master their use will have a competitive advantage in a wide variety of industries.
