Let us dwell on details to catch up on 4th generation AR/VR platform (Platform evolution: Personal Computer -> Web -> Mobile ->AR/VR).
Augmented reality (AR): Takes our current reality and adds something to it. It does not move us elsewhere. It simply “augments” our current state of presence, with clear visors
Virtual reality (VR): Transpose the user bringing someplace else. Through closed visors or goggles, VR blocks out the room and puts our presence elsewhere.
