'''Virtual Reality''' or '''VR''' is a computer-simulated artificial world that can mimic the physical features of the environments in real life and in fantasy. In VR, all of our senses are fooled, temporarily, into believing that this artificial environment is real. The goal of a true VR experience is to create [[presence]], the feeling of physically being somewhere else, being in another reality. | '''Virtual Reality''' or '''VR''' is a computer-simulated artificial world that can mimic the physical features of the environments in real life and in fantasy.
