Mixed Reality (MR) is a technology that lets you interact with 3D digital objects while still seeing and being aware of the real world around you. It combines the best parts of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). For example, you can see a virtual robot on your desk and use your hands to move it, all while still seeing the desk and room around you.

It’s like having digital and real-world things exist together, and you can interact with both at the same time. This makes MR great for learning, working, or playing in a way that feels natural and engaging.

How it’s Used

  • In Education: Students can explore a 3D model of the human body and move virtual organs to see how they work while still seeing their classroom.
  • In Work: Architects can place a virtual model of a building on a real table to better visualize the design.
  • In Games: MR games let you play with digital characters that seem like they’re actually in the room with you.
