AR, VR and XR differences explained: Why should you care?
We hear a lot about AR, VR and XR these days, but what do they mean and why should you care? With these technologies becoming more common in gaming, work and education, it's worth understanding what the difference is between them and how they're already starting to shape the world around us. Augmented reality, or AR for short, is all about adding an extra digital layer to the world you already see. It takes your surroundings and enhances them by overlaying digital content like images, sounds, animations or bits of helpful information. Unlike virtual reality, AR doesn't block out the real world; it simply builds on top of it. A great example is the wildly popular Pokemon Go game that launched back in 2016. If you played it, you'll remember how it used your phone's camera and GPS to place digital creatures called Pokemon around your local area. That's AR in action, digital content that feels like it's part of your real environment. Virtual reality, or VR, is quite different from AR. Instead of enhancing your real surroundings, it replaces them entirely. Slip on a VR headset like the Meta Quest or PlayStation VR, and suddenly you're standing in a 3D world that's been completely digitally created. The visuals and sounds are all coming from the digital world, cutting you off from the physical space around you. For most people, VR is still most closely linked with gaming, but its potential goes way beyond that. It's already being used for serious things like pilot and medical training through realistic simulations, as well as in therapy. Extended Reality, often shortened to XR, is the broader term that brings everything under one roof. It includes Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, and anything else that blends digital and physical experiences. The main goal of XR is to create a seamless connection between the digital and real. Whether you're wearing smart glasses that display directions on the street in front of you, or attending a business meeting in a shared 3D space with people from around the globe, XR aims to make it feel like the digital is naturally part of your world.

It's about recognising how these technologies are already shaping the way we live, work and play. As these tools become more widely available, knowing what each one offers helps us make smarter choices.

Google Cloud outages: Spotify, Discord, Snapchat and more were down for hours
Google Cloud experienced outages today that led to disruptions for many online services. Reports of issues for Google products and others began around 2 PM ET. The company was able to restore function to its own apps, but several other businesses have continued to experience problems for some users. In an update at 4:16PM ET, Google said, "We have identified the root cause and applied appropriate mitigations. Our infrastructure has recovered in all regions except us-central1. Google Cloud products that rely on the affected infrastructure are seeing recovery in multiple locations. Our engineers are aware of the customers still experiencing issues on us-central1 and multi-region/us and are actively working on full recovery. We do not have an ETA for full recovery." Screenshot from DownDetector at about 3:25PM ET Spotify, Discord, Snapchat, Etsy, UPS and OpenAI all experienced a high volume of reports on DownDetector, with some informing users of disruptions. Even the Pokemon Trading Card Game and Pokemon Go weren't spared issues. Snapchat acknowledged the ongoing issues on its support page. OpenAI has posted that users may have trouble logging in due to "issues affecting multiple external internet providers." AWS also experienced a higher-than-usual volume of reports on DownDetector during the outage, but Amazon clarified in a statement to Engadget that it has no broad service issues and noted that its AWS Health Dashboard is a better indicator of its current status than DownDetector. Almost all services have now returned to normal operation. By 5PM ET, Spotify's main page loaded for our editors and reports of outages on DownDetector had fallen back to close to their baseline. Other platforms like Snapchat and Discord also seemed to be functioning normally for us. Google said at the time that its products were coming back online across multiple regions and that it expected the recovery to be complete "in less than an hour." However, as of 7:13PM ET, the company noted that several Google Cloud components were still experiencing "residual impact." Google Cloud Dataflow, Vertex AI Online Prediction and Personalized Service Health are all still somewhat affected, and the company has not provided a timeline for when everything will be back to normal.
