ANSWERS

1. ANS A

Virtual Reality – A complete immersion into the world of computer-generated reality gives a virtual Experience.

• An ideal virtual reality will be caused with the mix of all five senses, i.e., Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch” at a time.

Augmented Reality – Augmented reality helps us experience bits of virtually placed graphics, video, sound, or GPS data and info over a real-world view.

Hybrid or Mixed Reality – Mixed reality is a hybrid of augmented reality and virtual reality.

Extended Reality – Extended reality or XR encompasses virtual Reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR).

• Extended reality is a term referring to all real-and-virtual combined environments and human-machine interaction generated by computer technology and wearables.

2. ANS C

Climate flation - Cost of climate change itself.

As the number of natural disasters and severe weather events are rising, so is their impact on economic activity and prices. For example, exceptional droughts in large ports of the world have contributed  to the recent sharp rise in food prices – putting heavy burden on people who are struggling to make ends meet.

Fossil flation – It reflects the legacy cost of the dependency on fossil energy sources, which hasn’t been reduced forcefully enough over past decodes.

Green Inflation – Most green technologies require significant amounts of metals and minerals such as copper, lithium, and cobalt especially during transition period.

• E-vehicles use over 6 times more minerals than their conventional counterparts.
• An offshore wind plants require over 7 times the amount of copper as compared with a gas-filled plant.
