Augmented realities are essentially a different vision generated by a computer or with the use of a program that is called VFX ( visual effects ). With the use of augmented reality , we can create a virtual world . There are currently three mainly used virtual worlds ; those being the Metaverse ( WIP ), Second Life and Roblox . These three applications provide you with a way to make different lives ; you can use a fake name , change your appearance with little to no effort and chat with others . While Second Life and Metaverse are using real life as an example and changing the aspects of real life , Roblox allows you to make anything . You are only limited by your imagination . There are online schools in Roblox that are being used by schools for education during quarantine . Metaverse aims to do the same , unlike Second Life which will stay as a game . There are more augmented realities to come as can be seen by the craze going off about real estate in the Metaverse . Many corporations will be jumping into this gold mine , many are investing their life savings into these applications . These applications can change our perspective of activities in real life . A friend could be asking you to go to the cafe or to have some fun in an arcade , you put on your glasses and then play in virtual arcades , chat with him or her in the cafe or even go to school with him or her . These applications can change every day routines by replacing them . If something gets the job done , why bother asking the question if it ’ s real or not ?
