Frequently asked questions

What are the different types of reality?

Extended Reality (XR) encompasses several immersive technologies, including Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR). VR creates fully immersive digital environments that replace the user’s physical surroundings, typically experienced through a VR headset. AR overlays digital information onto the user’s view of the real world, enhancing their perception of reality through devices like smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses. MR combines elements of both VR and AR, allowing digital objects to interact with the real world and vice versa, using sensors and cameras to map the physical environment and overlay digital content.  

Implementing XR solutions can lead to significant returns on investment (ROI) by increasing productivity, reducing costs, and improving training efficiency. For example, AR and VR training programs can reduce training time by up to 91%, decrease errors to near zero, and cut waste and rework by 38%. These technologies also enhance employee retention and performance, leading to long-term cost savings and operational improvements. By leveraging AI and Digital Twins, organizations can further optimize processes, predict maintenance needs, and enhance overall efficiency, contributing to a substantial ROI.
