Strictly pedagogical

Some people still confuse virtual reality with augmented reality when in fact there is a clear dividing line between the two concepts. In virtual reality, you only experience and see the virtual things.

 

But augmented reality - you're still seeing the real world; t just augments some virtual information on top of the real world. So, it gives you actual information but didn't replace the real world you're experiencing.
