AR allows users to gain control of their presence, giving them the exact feeling of the physical world.

Virtual Reality, unlike Augmented Reality, is more like a world of fantasy. It is built based on fiction, and the computer controls the user’s presence. Virtual Reality can be seen in most online games where a fiction-based environment is created, and people are sent on missions to gain rewards.
