In recent years, we saw that virtual reality (VR) was used for everything imaginable, such as for entertainment, gaming, education, and so on. Someone might enjoy a favorite movie with a head-mounted display as if they were having a dinner with a beautiful actress or someone might explore a spooky cave with their headset. This trend does not only apply to VR, but it also applies to AR (augmented reality) and MR (mixed reality). VR? AR? MR? They are all confusing. So let me elaborate them one by one.

Virtual reality is an immersive experience created entirely from computer-generated content (CG). CG VR can be either be pre-rendered, making it not reactive. In this way, it is very similar to 360° video—or rendered in real time using a game’s engine.
