Mixed Reality, or MR, is a technology that combines elements of the real and digital worlds in an interactive and simultaneous way. MR goes beyond AR because it not only overlays digital information onto the real environment but also enables direct and real-time interaction between virtual and physical objects. In other words, digital objects can respond to the real environment and the user.
MR applications include advanced education, engineering design, medicine, industrial simulation, and advanced entertainment. For example, an engineer can place virtual machine parts onto real equipment and test modifications live, or in medical training, virtual organs can interact with physical models to simulate complex scenarios. MR blends the real and virtual worlds to provide users with an exceptionally interactive and useful experience.
