  • Virtual reality is the ability to interact with a

simulated three-dimensional environment at varying degrees of immersion

  • Simply put - you feel like you are somewhere

else, operating in a different environment, usually to the exclusion of your current surroundings

  • Including current surroundings is often called

“augmented reality”
