Paul Papadopoulos on 04 Feb 23The definition of virtual reality technology comes from both the words 'virtual' and 'reality'. The definition of virtual is 'near' and the definition of reality is whatever we experience as human beings. So basically the term means 'near-reality'. Our sense and perception systems help us see the world as it is and everything we know about reality comes by way of our senses. In other words, you could say that simply a combination of sensory information makes up our entire experience of reality. You can change your perception of reality by presenting made-up information to your senses. By doing so you will create a version of reality that isn't there but from your perspective it is and this concept is called 'virtual reality'.
