You’ll have heard VR or virtual reality banded about in recent years. What is it? Virtual reality is an all-enveloping artificial and fully immersive experience intentionally confused with the real world. The augmented reality combines real-world views with digital overlays and artificial objects to create an environment that reflects real places. This world is viewed and accessed by sensory accessories such as controllers, headsets, and hand trackers. So, in a nutshell, VR uses computer technology to create simulated environments that users are immersed in and interact with.
