मनोरंजन हेतु डिजिटल प्रौद्योगिकियों के संदर्भ में, निम्नलिखित कथनों पर विचार कीजिए :
- 1.संवर्धित वास्तविकता [ऑगमेंटेड रिएलिटि (AR)] में एक छद्म वातावरण सृजित हो जाता है और भौतिक संसार पूरी तरह बहिष्कृत हो जाता है।
- 2.आभासी वास्तविकता [वर्चुअल रिएलिटि (VR)] में कम्प्यूटर द्वारा सृजित प्रतिमाएँ वास्तविक जीवन की वस्तुओं या परिवेशों पर प्रक्षेपित हो जाती हैं।
- 3.AR व्यक्तियों को संसार में विद्यमान रहने देता है और स्मार्ट-फोन या PC के कैमरे का उपयोग कर अनुभव को उन्नत करता है।
- 4.VR संसार को पृथक् कर देता है और व्यक्ति को एक अलग धरातल पर ले जाकर उसे पूर्ण निमग्नता का अनुभव प्रदान करता है।
उपर्युक्त में से कौन-सा/से कथन सही है/हैं?
Read this question in English
In the context of digital technologies for entertainment, consider the following statements:
1. In Augmented Reality (AR), a simulated environment is created and the physical world is completely shut out.
2. In Virtual Reality (VR), images generated from a computer are projected onto real-life objects or surroundings.
3. AR allows individuals to be present in the world and improves the experience using the camera of smart-phone or PC.
4. VR closes the world, and transposes an individual, providing complete immersion experience.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a) 1 and 2 only · (b) 3 and 4 · (c) 1, 2 and 3 · (d) 4 only
उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) 3 और 4
Statements 3 and 4 are correct; statements 1 and 2 swap the definitions. Augmented reality adds computer-generated content to the real world you are still in, while virtual reality replaces your surroundings with a simulated one.
- ✗ 1. This describes VR, not AR. AR does not shut out the physical world; it adds digital elements to it.
- ✗ 2. This describes AR, not VR. VR places the user inside an artificial, computer-generated reality instead of projecting images onto real surroundings.
- ✓ 3. AR keeps the user in the real world and adds to it, using devices as simple as a smartphone camera or as advanced as AR headsets.
- ✓ 4. VR, typically through a headset, transposes the user into an artificial, computer-generated world for a fully immersive experience.
Remember · AR adds digital content to the real world you can still see; VR replaces the real world with a simulated one.

As with Pokémon Go, augmented reality is made possible through low-end devices like smartphones and high-end AR headsets that blend digital components into the real world.”
