A Correct answer
Explanation

Virtual reality (VR) creates a completely immersive experience by blocking out the real world and replacing it with a computer-generated environment. Augmented reality (AR), on the other hand, overlays digital content onto the real world, allowing users to see both the real world and the digital content simultaneously.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Inside-out tracking headsets are not a common type of VR headset. They use sensors on the headset itself to track the user's movements, rather than relying on external sensors.

Multiple choice

What is the term for the technology that allows AR devices to overlay digital content onto the real world?

  1. Spatial mapping

  2. Markerless tracking

  3. Image recognition

  4. SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is the technology that allows AR devices to overlay digital content onto the real world. It uses sensors on the device to create a map of the environment and track the device's position within that map.
