Immersive Applications

Digital technologies that immerse users in artificial or augmented environments and convey a sense of presence and interaction.

🌐 Definition: Immersive Applications

Immersive Applications are digital experiences that blur the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds, giving users the feeling of being "in the middle of it all" rather than just observing from the outside.

🎯 Main Categories

1. Virtual Reality (VR)

• Fully artificial 3D environments
• VR headsets (Meta Quest, HTC Vive, Apple Vision Pro)
• Examples: VR games, virtual museum tours, real estate viewings

2. Augmented Reality (AR)

• Digital content overlaid on the real world
• Smartphone apps, AR glasses
• Examples: Pokémon GO, IKEA Place (virtually place furniture)

3. Mixed Reality (MR)

• Combination of VR and AR
• Digital and physical objects interact
• Examples: Microsoft HoloLens applications

4. 360° Media

• 360-degree videos and images
• Interactive panoramas
• Examples: 360° documentaries, virtual travel
