In 2027, the device you are carrying right now and reading this article will turned out to be a Virtual/Augmented Reality. Before few years when everyone never listened about these locutions, suddenly came into our lives as a Flash, i mean not Barry Allen, it's just the flash.

​

Virtual means which something we feel, see and never touch it whereas augmentation comes from the process of making great. Than how does this includes with technology?

​

We are not  far from these , Augmentation started entering our lives back then when we were posting stories in Snapchat, you watch your friend posting that creepy dog story? yes well come to the Virtual World.

​

You see that 360 video connected to your heads and watching by roaming all around the room , it was a minute example under the case of Virtual and when you play Pokemon Go you try to catch on the ground and you are into the Augmentation.

​

Without even knowing we were into it with just some mediocre applications which even not worth to use.

​

For example Virtuals are used in during constructing building, you make a prototype using it, whereas augmenated helps you to create a actual one which you can feel it and sense the output.

​

The best example for the Virtual Reality is Oculus Rift (Oculus Rift is a virtual reality system that completely immerses you inside virtual worlds.) which is owned MarkZuckerberg and Augmented Reality is Sun Seeker (Sun-Seeker is an AR app which provides a flat compass view and a 3D view showing the solar path, its hour intervals, its equinox, winter and summer solstice paths, sunrise and sunset times, twilight times, magic hours and also a Map view showing solar direction for each daylight hour.),

We also have many apps regarding both technologies.

​

Recently Microsoft and Google showed their new technologies in both VR and AR during the keynote which makes sense to the consumer industry.

​

By day to day , people are learning about the new era and  are looking forward how they impact on the human life.

​

Let' see, where it goes :)
