Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment.

Virtual Reality’s most immediately-recognizable component is the head-mounted display (HMD). Human beings are visual creatures, and display technology is often the single biggest difference between immersive Virtual Reality systems and traditional user interfaces.
