Virtual Reality
Till now we know about VR technology i.e. Virtual Reality in which the computer generates the realistic images, sounds and other sensations that replicate a real environment or create an imaginary setting.
We can experience VR technology in our mobile phones also by using Google Cardboard powered handset. I recommend VR Box 2.0 is suitable low cost VR handset. Get it on Amazon b/w Rs. 300-400
Argumented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) is the direct or indirect view of a real-world environment whose elements are augmented/supplemented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.
We can say it as the mixing of 2 worlds into one as the physical and virtual world is mixed and experience into one.
