Unit 106: Introduction to emerging technologies in construction and the built environment sector

Immersive Technologies

What is an immersive experience?

It’s when you engage in an experience that blurs the lines between reality and the virtual world. An immersive experience often uses one or more technologies linked together.

Immersive experiences include:

•Virtual Reality

•Augmented Reality

•Mixed Reality

•Digital twins

•360º content  

•3D simulations and visualisations.

​

Open Ended

Use the internet to research (VR) Virtual Reality​, (MR) Mixed Reality & (AR) Augmented Reality, give a brief description of each.

Is a technology that uses computer-generated 3D environments, accessed through headsets and other gear, to create an immersive, interactive, and realistic simulated experience.

​

​Virtual Reality (VR)

Mixed Reality (MR) blends the physical and digital worlds, allowing virtual objects to interact with your real environment in real-time, creating a seamless experience where digital content appears anchored in your physical space and responds to it.

​

Mixed Reality (MR)

Enhances the real world by overlaying computer-generated digital content, like images, sounds, and text, onto a user's view of their physical environment, creating an interactive, enhanced reality rather than replacing it

​

​Augmented Reality (AR)
