Virtual Reality (VR) refers to a simulated experience that can mimic or entirely replace the real world with a computer-generated environment. Users typically engage with this environment through specialized hardware, such as VR headsets, gloves, or motion sensors, which allow for immersive interaction. VR can encompass various sensory experiences, including visual, auditory, and tactile elements, to create a feeling of presence in the virtual space. It is commonly used in fields such as gaming, education, training simulations, healthcare, and real estate, enabling users to explore scenarios that may be impractical or impossible in the real world. The technology aims to create a sense of realism and engagement, allowing users to experience and manipulate the virtual environment as if it were tangible.
