What is MR(Mixed Reality)?

To understand what isMR(Mixed Reality),first, we need to learn aboutAR(Augmented Reality) and VR(Virtual Reality). what is MR

AR (Augmented Reality) is a technology which brings digital elements to a live view using the camera on any smartphone. Best examples of augmented reality are Pokemon Go game and the Snapchatglasses.

VR(Virtual Reality) makes it possible to experience anywhere, anything at any time. It is the most immersive type of technology that can convince our brain that it is literally somewhere else. Using VR devices such as HTC Vive, or Google Cardboard, users can be transported into another world.

In MR(Mixed Reality), we experience both AR(Augmented Reality) and VR(Virtual Reality) elements, real-world and digital objects. Mixed reality technology is now starting to take off with Microsoft’s HoloLens.

Mixed Reality combines the best of both virtual and augmented reality, new environments and visualizations become possible where physical and digital objects exist in real time.

Some Applications of MR(Mixed Reality)

Simulation-Based Learning.
It takes learning to the next level. If a user doesn’t have enough space but wants to learn, Simulation-based learning can make them feel like they are in a very large space but in reality, they are just in their room.

Wearable Holographic Computers.
These wearables contain sensors that are mapped in the physical environment and create a holographic display. There are some very interesting applications for venues as users can pin these holographic images to physical objects.

Heads-up Display.
By using Head-up displays, the user can get important information in the front view where it is most helpful. To get useful information in front of them, Fighter pilots use this technology.
Gesture Recognition.
In mixed reality, Gesture Recognition is a new type of technology. It allows your gestures and real-life movements to affect your virtual gaming life and can bring a lot more fun to a simulated environment for learning.
