The virtual and augmented reality is a rapidly growing technology which focuses on visualization and recognition of 2D and 3D images using tools with bonded techniques (features). The virtual reality (VR) delivers only assumed digital world for viewers, but the expectations of viewers is real world with digital world. Thus, augmented reality (AR) has become popular to deliver enhanced view of VR. However, AR fulfilled the expectations of viewers but there is a gap between VR and AR. The intermediate gap is focused on enhanced visualization for controlling and manipulating VR and AR in parallel. In this chapter, the comparative study of VR, AR, and mixed reality (MR) are focused to expose different aspects of applications, performances, and tools requirements.
