Virtual reality and augmented reality which one would you choose

　　Today, we are in a real revolution in the fork: virtual reality and augmented reality. In contrast, the concrete reality is a bit boring. Then, in the virtual reality of Oculus Rift device HoloLens and Microsoft devices such as augmented reality, which is best for you?

　　Wei Feng network, October 26, in recent days, foreign media TechRadar these two closely watched technology put together a comparison, look at it.

　　Who needs a traditional 2D screen?

　　Virtual reality and augmented reality to replace the traditional 2D screens, but there is a little bit different. The basic difference between them is that the former will completely immerse the user in a virtual world, while the latter is a virtual image built on a realistic basis.

　　Although they are bringing the 3D experience, but virtual reality technology is a completely enclosed display, augmented reality 3D image stack to a realistic scenario.

　　To cite an example, Oculus Rift is a very famous virtual reality head-mounted display, this product uses a better perception of the human eye in two separate design, coupled with head tracking, spatial location sensors to achieve perspective track in the virtual scene. Augmented reality devices, Microsoft HoloLens is a translucent lens design, allowing users to see virtual images in a realistic scenario.

　　Experience to determine market positioning Vera Bradley tech case

　　Displayed in different ways, virtual reality and augmented reality devices to the user experiences are different, and therefore market positioning of both devices have also been affected.

　　As of right now, virtual reality equipment is mainly used for games, in an almost total closure of the virtual environment, users can experience the fun of the game. In addition, the Oculus Rift will have the opportunity to enter the field of virtual networking, because the famous Facebook acquired the Oculus, which means that this product has some advantages in social applications. Vera Bradley iPhone 6 cases

　　While augmented reality device allows users to combine sports and leisure classes real scenes of games, daily entertainment and so on, these applications are available through the Microsoft interpretation of HoloLens well. Augmented reality scene did not completely detached from reality, although we see is another world, but the world is not all fake and therefore cannot be science fiction action-RPG or adventure game.

　　Summary

　　As said above, virtual reality and augmented reality both of these technologies have their own strengths and weaknesses. Can immerse users in the virtual world of virtual reality and fantasy scenes are not a problem, but the user cannot interact with people in a virtual scene, and because it is completely closed.

　　Augmented reality and virtual reality closely linked together, even if the experience of virtual 3D scene, or the reality of the operation, but entertaining obviously can not be compared with virtual reality technology.

　　In the case of the length, it's hard to say exactly what kind of technology is more suitable for them. Therefore, we can choose according to their needs, more inclined to entertainment, the game can select virtual reality, instead consider augmented reality.
