    Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have transformed the way we interact with digital environments, offering immersive experiences that blend the real and virtual worlds. While both technologies enhance perception, they do so in fundamentally different ways. AR overlays digital elements onto the real world, enriching reality with interactive, computer-generated enhancements. VR, on the other hand, creates fully immersive digital environments, transporting users into a completely virtual space where physical surroundings disappear. 
    The evolution of AR and VR has been a fascinating journey, driven by advancements in computing power, graphics rendering, and sensor technology. Early experiments in virtual reality can be traced back to the 1960s, with devices like the Sensorama and the first head-mounted displays. However, it wasn’t until the 2010s that VR technology became widely accessible, thanks to companies like Oculus, HTC, and Sony. AR’s development followed a different trajectory, gaining mainstream attention with mobile applications like Pokémon GO and smart glasses designed for enterprise use. 
    One of the key distinctions between AR and VR is their method of user interaction. AR enhances real-world experiences without replacing them, allowing users to see both physical and digital elements simultaneously. This has led to widespread adoption in fields such as retail, education, and healthcare. VR, in contrast, immerses users in entirely synthetic environments, making it ideal for gaming, training simulations, and remote collaboration. The level of immersion is influenced by factors such as display resolution, field of view, motion tracking, and haptic feedback, all of which contribute to a sense of presence within a virtual space.
