Extended reality

The fields of virtual reality and augmented reality are rapidly growing and being applied in a wide range of areas such as entertainment, cinema, marketing, real estate, training, education, maintenance[3] and remote work.

[4] Extended reality has the ability to be used for joint effort in the workplace, training, educational purposes, therapeutic treatments, and data exploration and analysis.

Extended reality works by using visual data acquisition that is either accessed locally or shared and transfers over a network and to the human senses.

By enabling real-time responses in a virtual stimulus these devices create customized experiences.

[citation needed] In 2018 the BBC launched a research project to capture and document the barriers present in extended reality environments.
