Exploring Virtual Reality

Virtual reality (VR) is an immersive experience that allows users to interact with believable, computer-generated 3D worlds. Key elements of VR include believability, interactivity, computer generation, explorability, and immersion. Unlike traditional art forms like books or films, VR offers a two-way interactive experience where the virtual world responds to the user's actions. This makes VR a unique and engaging medium, distinct from passive experiences such as watching a movie or reading a book.
