Definitions
- Virtual Reality:
-
A model of reality with which users can interact using senses such as sight, sound, or touch.
- Immersive Virtual Reality:
-
A type of virtual reality in which the user’s complete view is surrounded by the synthetic environment, as if they had stepped inside the virtual world. It is usually distinguished by the high level of immersion and interactivity offered.
- CAVE:
-
