FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers about virtual reality
Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed into and able to interact with 3D worlds.
