ABSTRACT

Over the years, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality have experienced a remarkable increase in popularity and recognition as two prominent technologies. AR uses real-world settings while VR uses virtual settings. Both provide mesmerizing experiences, but they differ in their fundamental principles and properties. This article aims to provide a standardized comparison of AR and VR, focusing on examining aspects in a structured manner. These two technologies are used in various domains like education, research on the technical level, military affairs, gaming, etc. These technologies have increased access; thus, the paper composes different areas of principles that have been utilized by augmented reality and virtual reality. Based on some research the paper discusses several pledged areas of health, and medicine as well as important gaps and directions for future research AR, VR, and MR (Mixed Reality) find applications in the medical field, particularly in areas like medical education and neural networks. The future of virtual and augmented reality is now becoming more technological, each day new solutions and products are introduced in the market.
