Virtual reality (or VR) means a head-mounted immersive display that fills your vision with video or fully rendered imagery, such that the viewed experience becomes your reality.
Augmented or mixed reality (or AR) means a head-mounted display or mobile device screen that captures your view of the real world using cameras, and adds visual effects and other imagery on top of or into it, such that the new viewed experience is a mix of reality and rendered imagery.
