Explanation:
1. Statement 1 is incorrect. In Augmented Reality (AR), a virtual overlay is added to the physical world, enhancing it rather than completely shutting it out. AR combines digital elements with the real environment, allowing users to interact with both.

3. Statement 3 is correct. AR allows individuals to be present in the real world while enhancing their experience using the camera of a smartphone or PC. It overlays digital information onto the real-world environment.
4. Statement 4 is correct. VR creates a closed world and transposes an individual into a fully immersive virtual environment, providing a complete sensory experience.
