XR, sometimes also referred to as cross reality, is an umbrella term that encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). While these are all kinds of computer-generated simulations, they have some key differences:
- VR immerses you within a fully virtual environment.
- AR depicts your physical surroundings with overlaid digital elements.
- MR blends and interconnects the real world with virtual spaces.
