MIXED REALITY

But just to confuse things a little more, there is a third reality form that has the potential to exceed both AR and VR and it’s called ‘mixed reality’ (MR) — this is where real and virtual realities not only collide, but interact with each other, the virtual world affecting the real world. In practice, the terms ‘AR’ and ‘MR’ are being used interchangeably and while there’s still debate over the benefit of having the two terms, the interaction between the real and virtual worlds makes MR the most complex reality form to produce. That said, we’re already seeing some impressive examples reaching fruition.
