Virtual Reality
Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated, immersive technology that transports users to realistic, interactive digital environments, providing a sense of presence and immersion. Through the use of specialized headsets or devices, users can experience and explore three-dimensional virtual worlds that can replicate real-life scenarios or fantastical realms. VR offers a unique and captivating experience, enabling users to interact with objects and environments as if they were physically present. This technology finds applications in various fields, including gaming, entertainment, education, training, healthcare, architecture, and design. As VR continues to advance and become more accessible, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we perceive and interact with digital content, opening up endless possibilities for new experiences and applications in the future.
Immersive Mediated Environment
Virtual reality is a simulated 3D environment that enables users to explore and interact with a virtual surrounding in a way that approximates reality, as it is perceived through the users’ senses.
The environment is created with computer hardware and software, although users might also need to wear devices such as helmets or goggles to interact with the environment. The more deeply users can immerse themselves in a VR environment — and block out their physical surroundings — the more they are able to suspend their belief and accept it as real, even if it is fantastical in nature.
