ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Mixed reality

Mixed reality is when two different kinds of reality mix together. Mixed reality is a combination of augmented reality (which adds digital information to our world) and virtual reality (which replaces our world with a simulated one). Mixed reality is like virtual reality, but it also adds digital objects to the real world. For example, you can use mixed reality to play a game that is set in the real world but with parts of the game coming from the virtual world. You might be able to see your opponent in the real world, but the things you use to play the game will only be seen in the virtual world.
