Welcome
Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-simulated 3D experience – representing imaginary or real environments -- in which a person is immersed by using specific VR equipment. The level of sensory and physical interaction depends on the type of VR equipment and the design of the VR experience. A VR headset is always required and handheld controllers are sometimes required.

This 1-1/2 -minute video provides an excellent explanation about the difference between virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) immersive technologies.

This is the same VR headset that I personally own and use. The Meta Quest 2 is a standalone, all-in-one, VR headset that can be used over WiFi. It can also be tethered to a high end gaming PC.
