Virtual and Augmented Reality

Augmented and virtual reality developers use equipment and tools for developing applications, games, websites, and other products that are widely used in education, medicine, industry, and business.

Competitors are developing two applications: virtual reality and augmented reality.

To do this, Competitors need to develop an application from a design to the entirely functional product used with a virtual reality helmet and a mobile platform.
