Does a career in augmented/virtual reality or artificial intelligence interest you? A ubiquitous thing you keep hearing from people these days is that ‘the future is automation’. And indeed, the future belongs to technology, whether it’s virtual reality (VR), augmented reality or artificial intelligence. In 2016, when the game Pokemon Go was launched, everyone got a taste of it. The game was rated more addictive than Whatsapp and Tinder for some. Snapchat, on the other hand, has integrated AR in our daily lives to such an extent that we almost forget about the existence of this technology.

Augmented Reality/virtual reality Augmented Reality is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world, thus providing a composite view. On the other hand, Virtual Reality is essentially the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. This environment puts the user inside an experience. For example, the users are completely immersed in it and can interact with the 3D world instead of just viewing a screen in front of them.

Artificial Intelligence If you’re new to Artificial Intelligence, then you must be wondering what exactly it is? Artificial Intelligence or AI for short is merely the intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans and other animals. In simpler words, it’s the technology that mimics human learning and response through the data fed to it.
