XR Technology:
- Extended reality, or XR, is an emerging realm of technology that combines real and virtual environments.
- Extended Reality (XR) is an umbrella term encapsulating Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and everything in between.
- The term is also used to refer to human-machine interactions generated through wearables and computer technology.
- It includes representative forms such as augmented reality, mixed reality and virtual reality and the areas interpolated among them.
- The term first popped up in the 1960s when Charles Wyckoff filed a patent for his silver-halide “XR” film, intended for photographing extremely bright light events, such as nuclear explosions.
