Virtual and augmented reality are technologies that generate virtual elements and allows the user to interact with them. Virtual reality creates a combination of virtual elements to create a completely artificial experience, or a virtual environment in which a user perceives that he is present and has an influence. Augmented reality on the other hand seeks virtual elements to be more effectively implemented in the physical reality of the user he is currently surrounded and similar to the virtual, allows the user to interact with its elements. Virtual, and later, augmented reality is a concept that has emerged from the publication of the mathematical formula of a linear perspective, while its first versions of the devices we can find today, emerge in the 20th century. Through the 80's and 90's they also got their commercial use that unfortunately fell due to their price and quality of content. lt is then used only for professional purposes until the next wave of commercialization that has taken place between 2014 and 2016 when multiple systems of virtual and expanded reality emerge for commercial use and achieve success. Its application can be found in the form of video games, applications, movies with 360-degree view, virtual tryout of clothing and accessories, simulator for military and civilian purposes, training of operations in medicine, and engineering and modeling for cheaper and more efficient design. AIso, the term remote reality emerges, which characterizes the transfer of images from a remote device to a user who resembles virtual reality, but it is a different kind of technology. While remote reality is still insufficiently developed to provide it with a quality court, virtual and augmented reality has, through the years of evolution, achieved the necessary Jevel of development to expand to activities where they show potential for use and their application will remain.
