Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital information—such as images, text, or 3D models—on the real world. Unlike VR, AR does not replace reality; it enhances it. AR is often experienced via smartphones, tablets, or dedicated AR glasses.
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of HTML documents. It controls how elements are displayed on a web page, including colors, fonts, spacing, positioning, and responsive behavior. CSS lets you separate content (HTML) from presentation.
Frame rate is the number of individual images (frames) shown per second to create motion. It is expressed in fps (frames per second). Higher frame rates result in smoother motion. Standard film is 24fps, TV 25/30fps, and gaming aims for 60fps or higher.
A hi-fi (high-fidelity) wireframe or mockup is a detailed, polished representation of a user interface that closely resembles the final product. It includes actual or realistic content, real images, exact brand colors, proper typography, spacing, and often interactive elements. Hi-fi designs are created after concepts are validated and serve stakeholder presentations, user testing, and developer handoff.
A lo-fi (low-fidelity) wireframe is a quick, rough sketch of a user interface that focuses on layout, structure, content placement, and user flow rather than visual design details like colors or typography. Often created with pen and paper, whiteboards, or simple digital tools, lo-fi wireframes enable rapid exploration of ideas and early feedback before investing time in detailed designs.
A polygon is a flat surface bounded by straight lines. In 3D graphics, polygons are the building blocks of 3D models. Most 3D models consist of thousands to millions of polygons (usually triangles). The number of polygons determines the level of detail of a model.
Unity is a cross-platform game engine developed by Unity Technologies. It is used to build 2D and 3D games, VR/AR apps, simulations, and interactive experiences. Unity uses C# as its primary programming language and provides a visual editor, asset store, and extensive documentation.
Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that creates a fully artificial, computer-generated environment in which users can navigate and interact. VR is experienced through headsets that cover the entire field of view, often combined with motion controllers for interaction.
