In 1974, the television series Star Trek introduced the holodeck, a device that created a synthetic version of reality, i.e., “virtual reality (VR).”

By the mid-1990s, video gamers could purchase headsets and gloves to participate in VR computer games. Analysts valued the global VR market at $11.9 billion in 2019 and projected over $87 billion in sales in 2025.

While the success of VR is laudable, the real game-changer for businesses is subsequent, though affiliated, technology “augmented reality (AR).”

The difference between VR and AR is that VR replaces what a person sees and experiences.

AR projects images in front of the physical environment, effectively adding digital information to what a viewer physically sees.
