Augmented Virtual Reality (AVR) typically refers to a blend of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies, combining the strengths of both to create a more immersive and interactive experience.

• Augmented Reality (AR): Enhances the real world with digital overlays (e.g., Pokémon GO, AR filters on Snapchat).

• Virtual Reality (VR): Replaces the real world with a fully virtual environment, often using headsets like the Meta Quest or HTC Vive.

• Augmented Virtual Reality (AVR):

  • A hybrid approach where virtual environments are enhanced with real-world data or where AR elements are integrated into VR settings.

  • Sometimes used interchangeably with Mixed Reality (MR), but MR is more of a spectrum.
