Reality-virtuality continuum: The spectrum from completely real to completely virtual and synthetic.

VR Virtual Reality: An environment that is entirely synthetic and immersive for the viewer, this can be made to emulate the real world or create a fictional world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_reality

AR Augmented Reality: A view of real world, where certain aspects are augmented with Sound, Visuals, GPS or other interactions. There is no interaction between the real world and the virtual world. https://www.foundry.com/industries/virtual-reality/vr-mr-ar-confused

MR Mixed Reality: The blending of Synthetic and actual reality in real time, where there is no delay and the objects play and interact together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_reality https://www.foundry.com/industries/virtual-reality/vr-mr-ar-confused
