The term AR/VR convergence belongs to the category of Virtual and Augmented Reality as well as Digital Transformation. It describes the merging of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) into a common, seamless world of experience.
AR expands our real environment with digital elements – for example, by displaying helpful information or animations when looking through a smartphone. VR, on the other hand, allows users to completely immerse themselves in a computer-generated virtual world that has nothing to do with the real environment.
In AR/VR convergence, these two technologies merge. This allows users to switch seamlessly between real, augmented, and completely virtual reality. For example, in Industry 4.0, a technician could receive real-time information about a machine through AR glasses. However, by using convergence, they can directly enter a VR simulation to practice a complex repair risk-free before performing it on the actual machine.
The AR/VR convergence is particularly exciting because it creates new possibilities for learning, working and entertainment, making digital transformation even more tangible.
