When people talk about Augmented Reality (AR) technology, the focus usually happens on the side of the technology, where real world spaces are enhanced by information that is generated digitally.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where AR distinguishes itself from other XR technologies. Rather than the focus on creating new and alternate realities \u2014 which can be the case with many virtual reality (VR) applications, AR simply looks to enhance experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of <\/span>OVR<\/span><\/a>, we seek to bridge the gaps between physical and digital, ensuring that even when forced to connect with other people digitally or remotely, the benefits of physical interaction are not lost. Or in some cases, providing new possibilities for those who are unable to enjoy the full experiences in a physical world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does virtual make us less human?<\/b><\/h2>\n

With the proliferation of virtual reality applications, particularly in the mass adopted sector of gaming, VR and other XR tech have really improved digital experiences for people: giving sight, sound and other senses what is seemingly a more realistic feel. Or rather, bringing realism to what are otherwise artificial environments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, we can practise driving vehicles and even aircraft with car simulators and flight simulators. We can even immerse ourselves in imaginary worlds where we can be soldiers fighting battles, or explorers finding new worlds. We don\u2019t even need to go to concerts and parties anymore\u2026 Many kids these days have experienced their first virtual concerts on Fortnite or Roblox, donning cartoon costumes and avatars, being whoever they want to be, looking and sounding like anything they want.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the classroom environment, for example, VR technologies have proven to create interest in learning, providing rich visualizations that wouldn\u2019t have been possible in reality, and adds layers of fun and enjoyment to activities that students may otherwise have found \u201cboring\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n","permalink":"can-we-get-some-real-people-in-here-please-3","date":"2020-10-16 00:00:00","image_small":"https:\/\/blog.ovr.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-150x150.png","image_medium":"https:\/\/blog.ovr.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image-278x300.png","image_large":"https:\/\/blog.ovr.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image.png","image_full":"https:\/\/blog.ovr.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/image.png","single_url":"https:\/\/blog.ovr.ai\/tr\/can-we-get-some-real-people-in-here-please-3\/","translations":{"en":{"single_url":"https:\/\/blog.ovr.ai\/can-we-get-some-real-people-in-here-please\/","permalink":"can-we-get-some-real-people-in-here-please"},"fr":{"single_url":"https:\/\/blog.ovr.ai\/fr\/peut-on-avoir-de-vraies-personnes-ici-sil-vous-plait\/","permalink":"peut-on-avoir-de-vraies-personnes-ici-sil-vous-plait"},"es":{"single_url":"https:\/\/blog.ovr.ai\/es\/can-we-get-some-real-people-in-here-please-2\/","permalink":"can-we-get-some-real-people-in-here-please-2"},"tr":{"single_url":"https:\/\/blog.ovr.ai\/tr\/can-we-get-some-real-people-in-here-please-3\/","permalink":"can-we-get-some-real-people-in-here-please-3"},"zh":{"single_url":"https:\/\/blog.ovr.ai\/zh\/can-we-get-some-real-people-in-here-please-4\/","permalink":"can-we-get-some-real-people-in-here-please-4"}}}]}
