  • Virtual reality (VR) — immersive experiences helping to isolate users from the real world, usually via a headset device and headphones designed for such activities.
  • Mixed reality (MR) — combining AR and VR elements so that digital objects can interact with the real world, means businesses can design elements anchored within a real environment.
