From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I plan to contribute the definition of virtual reality and augmented reality as well as its use in fiction as an impact on modern society.

Different forms of reality

[edit]
Please Note: Extended reality is an umbrella term used for the many forms of reality.  

Three categories:

[edit]

There are many different forms of reality. Most are interpreted in an abstract sense. In particular, they can be divided into three distinct categories. These include real constructs, virtual constructs and possible constructs.[1] Real constructs refer to physical, tangible objects, (i.e. books, pencil, dog). Virtual constructs are of a digital existence but are undoubtedly real and have the capability to be interacted with; (i.e. computer programs, virtual assistants, digital currency). Possible constructs are unique, since they posses the aspect that they do not exist, yet, in any forms of reality; (i.e. philosophy, metaphysics, ideas).

Separation and subdivisions:

[edit]

Reality- The physical world around us, we infer through our multiple senses.

Augmented reality- Digital information overlaid or consolidated on the actual world of reality and vice versa[2].

Virtual reality- Full digital render/ representation of the the real world; our reality.[Report 1]

Mixed reality- A combination of virtual reality and reality.[3] [4]

Augmented reality- Superimposes mixed realities to join, forming possible scenarios that behave as if real, while still maintaining virtual element(s).[5]

Virtruality- A virtual portrayal of contingent or non-contingent possibilities.[1]

The impacts of virtual and extended reality in fiction on society

[edit]

Because people have read, seen or heard about extended reality in fiction, they have become inspired to make the possibilities real. Extended reality has been emulated by many to suit modern technological advances. Because humans have developed a greater understanding of technology, we are constantly pushing the boundaries of what we can do. Humans are curious creatures by nature. By making extended reality real, we are essentially just on another path of technological exploration. After all, as Innovation Lead at MOBGEN : Accenture Interactive, Sebastian Veldman puts it, "The possibilities of Extended Reality are limited only by your imagination."[6]
