Blender is also related with Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. You can create and edit 3D models of AR/VR with Blender.

Do you mean "create for AR/VR" or "create in AR/VR"?

Any 3D application is useful for the former so I'm not clear on what specifically you're referring to.

If you mean the latter then I'm aware of a "edit inside VR" add-on for Blender but unclear on what the AR connection might be.

This is probably a reference to the integrated motion tracking support[1]. Sure, you can use any 3D application to generate content for AR, but it's a lot easier to overlay 3D object into an existing scene when the 3D application can process a video and automatically adjust the camera parameters to match.

Sorry, I mean Blender as a 3D application. You can create or edit 3D models and export them to AR application.
