Virtual tours for real estate, creating immersive experiences with VR visor apps

Mixed reality (MR) combines the real and virtual worlds, enabling interactions between physical and digital objects in real time. It is an advanced level of reality that integrates elements of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), creating immersive and interactive experiences.

Augmented reality (AR) integrates digital elements with the real world using devices such as smartphones, tablets or AR glasses. This technology allows images, animations or additional information to be displayed directly in the physical environment, enhancing perception and interaction with our surroundings. Unlike virtual reality, AR does not replace the real world, but enriches it with useful content or interactive experiences. It is used in various fields, such as gaming, education, medicine and design.

In the past, accessing augmented reality required only the use of ordinary camera-equipped devices, such as smartphones or tablets, which allowed virtual elements to be integrated with the real world. Virtual reality, on the other hand, required specialized viewers, such as Oculus, that offered full immersion in entirely virtual environments. Today, with the evolution of mixed reality, dynamically combining augmented and virtual reality, state-of-the-art visors are required. The Meta Quest 3 and the Apple Vision Pro, for example, enable hybrid immersive experiences, allowing users to fluidly switch between the real and virtual worlds with natural and immersive interaction.
