What is Virtual Reality?

Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive, completely computer-generated environment. Immersion is achieved using a VR headset or goggles which encapsulates the user’s entire field of vision.

What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented Reality (AR) uses the user’s real surroundings and adds virtual information such as photo filters, moving characters, or navigation. AR is not designed to be fully immersive and may only require use of a smartphone camera.

For the best VR experience:

• Be sure to toggle the eye controls found on the bottom of the goggles to ensure the focus is aligned to each user.
• Wipe off any fingerprints or smudges from the face of your device.
• Ensure your smart phone is placed correctly into the goggle, centered with the lenses to the best of your ability.
