Mixed Reality

Summary

Mixed Reality (MR) blends the physical and digital worlds, allowing users to interact with both real and virtual elements in real-time.

Detailed Description

Mixed Reality (MR) is a technology that combines elements of both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). It creates a unique interactive environment where digital objects not only overlay with the real world but also interact with it in a realistic way. MR requires advanced hardware like headsets that feature sensors and cameras to track the environment, allowing virtual objects to be placed in real-world contexts, responding to physical interactions.
