Extended Reality (XR) describes a spectrum of development patterns that include low-immersion Augmented Reality (AR) experiences in which digital content augments the end-users physical environment, moderate-immersion Mixed Reality (MR) experiences where digital content is blended with the user's physical environment, and full-immersion Virtual Reality (VR) experiences in which digital content completely replaces the user's view of their physical environment. XR experiences are delivered through various device types, including handheld mobile devices and immersive head-mounted display devices, or headsets. ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unity and ArcGIS Maps SDK for Unreal Engine enable access to ArcGIS content and capabilities within XR applications.
