Virtual reality is computer-simulated reality; it simulates a real environment to artificially create an experience that can address your senses, including sight, hearing, touch and smell.

What is augmented reality?
Imagine a situation where you are using a map to navigate to an
unfamiliar place. You need to know what the place looks like so you can
identify it when you see it. Augmented reality does this for you. Using
augmented reality, you can see the map on one half of your screen and on
the other half, you can not only see the place, you can also see the
current situation in that place, is there a traffic jam, is the store
closed, or even if any renovation is being done, provided of course, you
have the requisite software and appropriate cameras have been set up at
these locations.
