After my question of yesterday I realized it may be useful to define AR and VR.

First off, a huge thank you to the wonderful MyLot community, since joining at the end of the year, I have enjoyed conversing with many of you! AR, or Augmented reality is the combination of augmented information and a real-world object. A great example of this is the products from Astroreality. Point your cell phone camera at the object and it comes to life with information. AR is adding to the real world. VR, is the creation of a completely separate world (virtual) that allows you to interact with it. VR allows you to go places (outer space, deep into the ocean) that you wouldn't normally be able to do! Of the two I suspect AR has many more short-term use cases in the world around us. VR, will remain in the world of video games for the near term. Does this help you understand the difference between the two? Based on the descriptions above, which one do you think you would use today?
