Virtual Reality

Virtual reality (VR) is a technology which allows a user to interact with a computer-simulated environment.

Most current virtual reality environments are visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays. Some some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound and tactile stimulus such as vibrations through human interfaces. For a full virtual reality exeperience, immersive VR environments [CAVE] have been developed. These also support remote multi-player scenarios.

Tactile feedback is generally known as force feedback, in medical and gaming applications.
