Virtual reality Answer The term 'virtual reality' has two words, virtual which means “being something in effect, though not actually or in fact” and reality is “what we experience as a human being”. So the term ‘virtual reality’ basically means ‘near-reality’. This could, of course, mean anything but it usually refers to a specific type of reality emulation. Virtual reality is the creation of a virtual environment presented to our senses in such a way that we experience it as if we were really there. Virtual reality can be used to provide learners with a virtual environment where they can develop their skills without the real-world consequences of failing. It has been used and studied in primary education, military, pilot, and driver training. It is most commonly used in entertainment applications such as video games and 3D movies.
