AR stands for Augmented Reality. It’s when 3D animated graphics have been placed overtop what you
see in the real world. VR stands for Virtual Reality. With this technology, you can immerse yourself in a

According to (Hostello, 2017), virtual reality has the potential to make investors as much money as the

improved outcomes across 368 brain surgeries using VR-assisted navigation and this also improved and
advanced the medical field by training doctors. According to (Motomatsu and Haruka, 2014), the use of
the emerging 3D computer technology of VR in the use of relieving pain in physically impaired conditions
