Immersive Technologies Lecture Notes

Flashcards covering key concepts and definitions related to immersive technologies discussed during the lecture.

Immersive Technologies

Technologies designed to make digital experiences feel real, spatial, and personal.

Virtual Reality (VR)

Fully digital environments that replace the real world, creating a strong sense of presence through headsets.

Augmented Reality (AR)

Digital content layered onto the real world, enhancing what you see without replacing reality.

Mixed Reality (MR)

A blend of digital and physical objects that coexist and interact in real time, blurring the line between real and digital.

Applications of Immersive Technologies

Used in healthcare, training & onboarding, collaboration, manufacturing & design, and architecture.

Embodiment

The experience of feeling 'inside' an immersive environment, as associated with interaction in VR.

Haptics

Technology that simulates the sense of touch in immersive experiences.
