Virtual Reality
The simulation of a person’s entire environment (sights, sounds, movements, etc.) by computer. Most commonly this is done by displaying a realistic picture and allowing the user to manipulate objects by clicking on them with the mouse.
A simulated 3-D environment that a user can experience and manipulate as if it were physical. The user sees the environment on display screens, possibly mounted in a special pair of goggles. Special input devices, such as gloves or suits fitted with motion sensors, detect the user’s actions. Acronym: VR.
