Virtual reality
Virtual reality (VR) is a world created by electronic simulations where people can interact like in real life. It’s a popular feature used in video games and learning programs.
Getting into a VR experience requires specific equipment like a headset, gloves, joysticks, and other tools. The headset displays the VR environment, and the rest of the gear allows the person to play around in it.
Users can physically engage with this artificial world. For instance, one player can fight another in a simulated sword fight, each swinging a VR sword. A firefighter could have a training session where they rescue people in a virtual world.
Some VR systems are so advanced that users can hear and feel the environment they’re in. Earbuds and speakers provide sound to the VR world, and haptic technology gives physical feedback.
