Virtual Reality, or VR, is a technology that transports the user into a fully simulated and digital environment. Through the use of specialized headsets, headphones, and motion controllers, users enter a virtual world and no longer see their real surroundings. This technology creates an immersive, full-sensory experience that gives the user a sense of presence within the simulated environment.
VR applications include simulated training, video games, architectural and industrial design, medical simulations, and psychotherapy. For instance, medical students can practice surgical procedures in a VR environment without any real-world risk, or architects can view and evaluate their building designs in realistic 3D before construction begins. By creating a completely digital environment, VR enables safe and controlled experiences for learning and exploration.
