VR, AR and XR technologies

With the emerging technologies, the virtuality and reality are getting interconnected as Virtual Reality(VR), Augumented Reality(AR), Mixed Reality(MR) and Extended Reality(XR) with the help of Digital Twin technology. 

Digital Twin- Digital model of an intended or real world physical product or process that serves as the digital counterpart of it for practical purposes. 


VR technologies

  1. Virtual Reality(VR)- Simulated virtual environment that tricks our mind to think it as real. 
  2. Augumented Reality(AR)- It augument reality by adding computer generated graphics, images, or a set of interactive data to real world. 
  3. Mixed Reality(MR)- Hybrid of VR and AR with aim to offer the best of both worlds. It augment reality a step further and allows users to manipulate and interact with virtual objects and information. 
  4. Extended Reality(XR)- Computer generated experience that unites aspects of both the real and virtual worlds by encompassing augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality with other immersive technology. 


Internet of Things(IoT)- Devices with sensors that can communicate over internet and facilitate large scale data computation over internet. 

Blockchain- A distributed ledger with growing lists of records(as a block) that are securely linked together via cryptographic hashes. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block that contains information about the previous block thus they effectively form a chain. 



Cryptocurrency- Digital currency designed to work as a medium of exchange through a computer network without control of central authority(government or bank). Some famous cryptocurrency are Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dogecoin. The concept of cryptocurrency was given by Satoshi Nakamoto.
