Virtual Reality or VR is the creation of an interactive virtual world that replaces the real world. VR is usually created by a VR head-mounted displays (HMD) such as the Oculus Rift. HMDs utilize positional tracking sensors and optical lenses to give the illusion that the user is physically inside the virtual world. To create the illusion, a display is placed very close to the users' eyes, covering their entire field of view. Two images that are very similar but have different perspectives are channeled into each of your eyes through a series of lenses. This process give users the sensation that they are located within the virtual environment. Users of these devices are not only able to experience the computer-simulated environments but also interact with them.
Unlike Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality completely replaces the real world with a virtual one. VR creates a entirely new and digital world for users to explore.
