The museum in NYC utilizes VR to give guests an understanding of others' thoughts. The individual in this generation prefers to spend money on experiences than on material things. Askaryan's solution was to make a museum experience—which accompanies with the cute nickname MoFE—utilizing VR in areas for a brief time. He depicts it as "a curated cerebral experience mixing vivid theater, psychology, and VR for an in-depth exploration of individual and collective consciousness." 

WASHINGTON [USA]: It turns out, augmented reality is fit for influencing individual's behavior, in both the physical world and a digitally improved one. As part of the examination, analysts found that after an individual had involvement in augmented reality (AR), reenacted by wearing goggles that layer computer-generated content onto real-world situations, their communications in their physical world changed. Considerably after their AR device was evacuated. As per the discoveries, while VR endeavors to reenact a real-life environment and take the client from the contemporary setting, AR technology layers' digital data on the user's physical environment.

Drivers and Restraints of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality Market:

Drivers:

The developing focus of organizations on the feel of AR and VR devices is a crucial pattern in the global AR and VR market. AR and VR devices, for example, smart glasses, heads-up displays (HUD), and head-mounted displays (HMD) offer a high level of flexibility and versatility to clients. The application territories of AR and VR are various, and organizations are investigating approaches to incorporate these technologies into multiple fields. Moreover, the associations working in the market are progressively concentrating on the feel of these devices, so as to make them voguish, to bring their appropriation up in various applications.

The rising interest for the gesture and haptic control is supporting the development of the AR and VR market, around the world. The haptic innovation is utilized to make the feeling of touch that clients feel as applied forces, motion, or vibrations. At the same time, gesture recognition algorithms let clients control the devices and applications by utilizing their gestures, typically hand movements. With these advancements, the client can contact a virtual object, as though in reality. The rising prominence of these innovations has, in this manner added a new dimension to such devices, consequently driving their adoption.

Restraints:

The limited user interface (UI) influencing the navigation performance of AR applications, limited processing power, less storage, and the limited size of the memory card in mobile phones, and differed infrastructure quality of the digital network will restrain the development of AR market. The health concerns identifying with low resolution and lack of movement and display latency and energy consumption influencing the general execution of VR devices are the significant limitations in the VR market.
