What distinguishes augmented reality from virtual reality, as described in the material?

• A. AR mixes real and virtual elements that the user can interact with.
• B. VR fully replaces the real world with a virtual one.
• C. AR only overlays text on the real world.
• D. VR cannot be interactive.

Answer: (A)

Augmented reality is about layering digital content onto the real world in a way you can interact with while still seeing your surroundings. This blending of real and virtual elements is what sets AR apart from VR, which creates a completely simulated environment that replaces reality. So the best description is that AR mixes real and virtual elements that the user can interact with. The other statements are incomplete or inaccurate: AR isn’t limited to overlaying text, and VR can be interactive as well.
