Virtual reality (VR) refers to a specific environment or situation that resembles reality but is not real, created with artificial technology such as computers, or to the technology itself. The virtual (imaginary) environment or situation stimulates the user's five senses and provides spatial and temporal experiences similar to reality, letting the user move freely across the boundary between reality and imagination. Beyond simply being immersed in virtual reality, the user can also interact with what is implemented in it, for example by performing manipulations or commands with real devices. Virtual reality is also distinguished from one-way simulations in that it can interact with the user and creates the user's experience.
