Virtual reality immerses the user in a completely digital environment & is disconnected from real world surroundings allowing users to experience simulated spaces, which otherwise are difficult to recreate. E.g. Hazardous situation training, Virtual Tours, walkthroughs etc. VR also allows users to experience very large equipment, spaces in 1:1 scale & have found wide spread use in training, visualization, education & gaming industry. A VR headset is mandatory to experience VR content.
Augmented reality, enhances or augments the real world around the user with virtual objects, allowing unique insights for the user. The information & understanding of any environment is enhanced multifold by superimposing digital content on real life objects. AR use cases include work instructions, remote assistance, training, enhanced user experience & engagements etc. AR content can be consumed using a smart phone or advanced HMDs such as HoloLens for a hands-free operation
Mixed reality is an amalgamation of both virtual & augmented reality offering advantages of both worlds. In MR experience, an enhanced semi-immersive & interactive environment can be presented to the user. The user can manipulate both digital & physical objects & can reply scenarios where both digital & physical information is actionable & interactive with the user, environment & each other. Holographic devices such as HoloLens are required to experience mixed reality applications
Digital Twin is a virtual representation that serves as the real-time digital counterpart of a physical object. The sensors outfitted on a physical object produce data about its performance. This data is then relayed & applied to the digital copy. Using AI algorithms on this data, the virtual model can be used to run simulations, study performance issues & possible improvements. Digital Twins can also serve as a replacement of actual equipment to train people in actual scenarios
Metaverse represents a concept of a persistent, online, 3D universe that combines multiple different virtual spaces. Metaverse is still an evolving concept. However, multiple platforms are building elements that will together constitute a full rendition of this concept. Metaverse will allow users to exist in a parallel virtual reality where they can meet, work socialize via their digital avatars. Many organizations are already building virtual stores on Metaverse & also tout this as the future iteration of internet with experience
Non-Fungible-Token, which in literally means “unique” & cannot be replaced with anything else. NFT can be anything digital e.g drawing, music, images. The ownership of an NFT is stored on blockchain and can be transferred by the owner, allowing NFTs to be sold & traded. Since NFTs cannot be copied, ownership of the same cannot be disputed or falsified. In today’s world where digital content/art has become the primary consumption, NFTs open a new & exciting world of digital commodities.
