VR

Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that creates a simulated environment, allowing users to immerse themselves in a computer-generated world. In gaming, VR provides an unparalleled level of immersion by tricking the senses, primarily sight and hearing, through the use of a VR headset. These headsets typically feature stereoscopic displays to create a sense of depth, and head tracking to allow players to look around the virtual world naturally. Many VR systems also include motion controllers that translate real-world hand movements into the game, further enhancing interaction and presence. The applications of VR in gaming are diverse, spanning genres such as first-person shooters, adventure games, simulation titles, rhythm games, and social VR experiences. Beyond gaming, VR is used in training, education, design, healthcare, and more. The technology continues to evolve rapidly, with advancements in display resolution, field of view, tracking accuracy, haptic feedback, and wireless capabilities. As of 2025, the VR market features a range of headsets from various manufacturers, catering to different price points and platforms, including standalone devices, PC-tethered systems, and console-based VR.
