Augmented Reality and Virtual
Reality Headsets
Last Updated: Nov 12, 2021
Augmented reality is a compelling application that combines i.MX multimedia processing power,
sensors and software to offer a new level of user experience for next-generation mobile devices
in the consumer, medical and automotive infotainment markets.
Augmented reality puts a virtual view on top of your real world, bridging the gap between the
actual and digital worlds. Information, media, education, services and advertisements becomes
layered content from the Internet to match specific environments and contexts in a more natural
way.
