Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are two rapidly evolving fields of technology that use digital elements to enhance an user-experienced 3D environment. In order to predict the future applications of Virtual and Augmented Reality, its history and evolution must be examined. This paper was created after reviewing research papers and collecting data to create a detailed analysis based on our research. We have identified the origin of VR and how it has since then been developed to be used in various fields of study. Additionally we discuss the stemming of AR from VR and its development with its rapid growth. We also examine the potential for AR and VR growth in the next 10 years. Overall, we are able to conclude that Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are fields with much opportunity to expand.
