Digitally Extended Realities (DERs) are a category of immersive technologies that aim to enhance or replace our physical reality with a computer-generated one. This can be achieved through various methods, including virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and extended reality (XR).
In VR, the user is fully immersed in a computer-generated environment, with the physical world entirely blocked out. AR adds digital elements to the physical world, allowing users to interact with virtual objects as if they were real. MR blends virtual and physical elements together in a seamless and convincing way. XR is an umbrella term that encompasses VR, AR, and MR, as well as any other related immersive technologies.
DERs have many potential applications, including entertainment, education, training, and therapy. They also have the potential to revolutionize the way we work, communicate, and live our lives. However, they also raise important ethical and privacy concerns, as they blur the line between physical and digital reality and raise questions about the nature of our relationship with technology.
