Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are two rapidly advancing technologies that have gained significant attention in recent years. Augmented Reality combines virtual elements with the real world, enhancing the user’s interaction with their surroundings. AR technology overlays digital information in the real environment. This is achieved through the use of devices like smartphones, tablets, smart glasses, or heads-up displays. Virtual Reality creates a fully computer-generated digital environment that transports users into a virtual world. In this blog, we will discuss briefly about VR and AR development solutions.

History of AR & VR

The concept of Virtual Reality appeared in the 1960s when Ivan Sutherland and Bob Sproull developed the first head-mounted display (HMD) called “The Sword of Damocles.” In the 1980s and 1990s, VR gained more attention with advancements in technology. Companies like VPL Research, led by Jaron Lanier, introduced VR gloves, goggles, and other input devices. However, due to high costs and limited computing power, VR remained primarily in the domain of research. The breakthrough for VR came in the 2010s when Palmer Luckey developed the Oculus Rift, a consumer-grade VR headset. This Kickstarter-funded project garnered significant attention and led to the resurrection of VR.

The Oculus Rift and subsequent headsets from companies like HTC (Vive) and Sony (PlayStation VR) brought VR experiences to a broader audience. On the other hand, Augmented Reality has its origins in the early 1990s. Researcher Tom Caudell coined the term “Augmented Reality” while working at Boeing, where he used computer-generated graphics to assist in aircraft assembly. In 1999, the ARToolKit library was released, which allowed developers to create Augmented Reality platforms. In 2009, with the release of the iPhone 3GS, Apple introduced the ARToolkit framework, enabling developers to create AR applications for iOS devices. The breakthrough moment for AR came in 2016 with the release of Pokémon Go, a mobile game that blended the real world with virtual creatures. Both AR and VR continue to evolve rapidly. The future holds the promise of more innovative experiences, with AR and VR playing a significant role in entertainment, communication, productivity, and beyond.
