Virtual Reality (VR) is a type of Enhanced Reality (XR) in which users can interact with a three-dimensional artificial environment in a seemingly real or physical way. VR requires the use of special electronic equipment, such as a helmet with a screen inside, specially designed rooms with multiple large screens, and/or gloves fitted with sensors. Popular VR devices include Oculus Quest 2, Sony PlayStation VR, and HTC Vive Pro 2.
