Virtual Reality
Virtual reality is a reality created by a computer program that alters the perception
of the users mind to believed they are in a desired location experiencing an event
in actual time. The experience is supported by sounds, smells, vibrations, and of course
visuals of the actual place. Virtual reality is best described as mental teleportation. The first virtual
reality technology the Sensorama was invented by Mort Heilig in 1962. In 1968, Ivan Sutherland
created another piece of virtual reality called the Sword of Damocles. Sutherlands device was
an improvement in comparison to the large seat structure created by Heilig. Sutherland’s device
was the first that was small and lightweight enough to fit on the users head making the experience
more intimate. Virtual reality is currently used in education, military, and the medical field.

Virtual and Augmented reality has the ability to shape the mind of young learners.
Augmented Reality
The term Augmented reality originated in 1990 by the researcher Thomas Corder.
Augmented reality is exactly what the name says, a reality in actual time that has virtual
objects added into the users environment that allows them to interact. For example, A biology
class participates in the dissection of frogs. The full experience with the lab could be supported
by an Augmented reality dissection program. The user will still get the experience of dissecting
the frog without actually feeling responsible for the short life span of the frog. Augmented reality
is also known as mixed reality due to the virtual and actual reality being combined at the same
time without the tricking the brain during the experience. Augmented reality is currently used in
medicine, military, tourism, and education.
