What is VR?

Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that uses software and hardware to create immersive, simulated experiences. Users typically wear a headset with a display that presents images and sounds, often tracked to their head movements, to simulate a 3D environment. VR is commonly used for entertainment (gaming, movies), training (simulations for pilots or surgeons), education, and design (architectural visualization).
