# Mixed/Augmented Reality

In addition to Virtual Reality, users can experience HyperSkill simulations in Mixed Reality. 

**What is Mixed Reality?**

Mixed Reality (MR) blends the physical and digital worlds, creating immersive experiences where digital content interacts with the real environment. Unlike virtual reality, which replaces the real world with a simulated one, MR overlays digital elements onto the physical world, enhancing perception and interaction.

**Uses of Mixed Reality**

From education to industry, healthcare to entertainment, Mixed Reality offers a myriad of applications:

* **Education**: Enhance learning experiences by bringing abstract concepts to life, allowing students to interact with 3D models and simulations.
* **Industry**: Streamline design and prototyping processes, visualize complex data, and improve collaboration among remote teams.
* **Healthcare**: Simulate medical procedures, train healthcare professionals, and create immersive therapy experiences for patients.

**HyperSkill: Empowering Mixed Reality Experiences**

Within the HyperSkill platform, creating and experiencing Mixed Reality becomes accessible and seamless. HyperSkill's mixed reality offerings have 1-to-1 parity with Virtual Reality, offering support for the same state actions and features, including multiplayer and AI chat. Mixed Reality experiences are supported on the Meta Quest 2 and Quest 3 headsets.
