Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are important terms in the digital world. Being two different technologies, they possess great potential in the future of gaming, marketing, e-commerce, education, and many other fields.

The focus of VR is mainly to create a computer-generated simulation of an alternative world or new reality. It uses a VR screen and sensory devices (headsets, or gloves) with which the user can perceive and interact in the digital world. Such a thing allows its users to have immersive learning from an interactive environment, explore the virtual world, and benefit from new possibilities. Apart from games and entertainment, VR is also used for education, science, or training.

Concerning AR, it combines the digital world with real-life elements, by offering the chance of using digital aspects in the real world. These elements are then projected over physical surfaces within people’s field of vision, with the intent of combining the two to enhance one another. From increasing accuracy and efficiency to offering a vast spectrum of applications that are continuously being improved, AR works well in the printing and advertising industry, in construction and logistics, and in staying in touch with customers or technicians.  

With this in mind, and to further develop these two sectors, this EIC ePitching with Investors initiative is a valuable opportunity for selected EIC beneficiaries to pitch their innovations in front of jury members from top-class European investors in the Virtual and Augmented Reality fields.
