Definition

  • Virtual reality (called VR for short) is a computergenerated artificial image or environment that is presented to the user in such a way that it appears and feels like a real space or situation. With a VR device, young people may “experience” flying a spaceship right at home by wearing VR goggles and headsets. [Source: Encyclopedia of Children, Adolescents, and the Media; Virtual Reality]
