The rapidly growing fields of virtual reality and augmented reality are revolutionizing a wide range of areas such as entertainment, cinema, marketing, training, education, maintenance and remote work. XR which stands for “Extended Reality” is an umbrella term encompassing immersive technologies like Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), which blend real and virtual environments. By using visual data acquisition that is either accessed locally or shared and transferred over a network and to the human senses, XR devices create customized experiences by means of enabling real-time responses in a virtual stimulus.
