Mixed Reality

Also known as: MR

A spectrum of technologies that blend real and virtual environments, allowing digital and physical objects to coexist and interact in real time. Mixed reality encompasses both augmented reality (digital content overlaid on the real world) and augmented virtuality (real-world elements incorporated into virtual environments). The term is sometimes used interchangeably with extended reality, though technically it refers specifically to the blending of physical and digital worlds rather than the broader category.
