Explanation:
In the context of the workplace of the future, the course discusses three forms of reality – augmented, virtual, and b) Mixed Reality. Mixed Reality (MR) is the merging of both the real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations.
Unlike Virtual Reality which is a completely immersive virtual environment, or Augmented Reality which overlays virtual objects on the real world, MR interacts with and alters both the physical and the digital world.
When considering if there is a single reality or multiple realities, we understand that socially constructed realities both shape and are shaped by physical reality. Philosophically, there is a distinction between reality as a physical universe (“reality 1”) and the reality as a person's beliefs about it (“reality 3”).
The interplay of these conceptions raises the debate about the nature of reality and the extent to which it is subjective or objective. This discussion relates to whether there can be more than one entire reality or multiple views and perspectives on a single reality. The correct option is b.
