Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between VR and AR?

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality are closely related but have different purposes.

Virtual Reality places you inside a fully immersive digital environment. With VR, your senses make you feel as if you’ve been transported somewhere else entirely.

Augmented Reality, on the other hand, blends the physical and digital worlds by overlaying computer-generated content onto what you see around you.

At ClassVR, our headsets combine both technologies. The built-in camera and 3D models let you experience AR by holding a digital object in your hand and exploring it up close, all while staying aware of your surroundings. At the same time, our VR experiences take you on immersive journeys to new destinations, from visiting different planets to exploring under the sea.
