What is 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 and able 
to interact with 3D worlds.

VR Game Controllers

hand-based controller (joystick, gamepad, or even gloves) for 
pointing, firing and sending commands.

detail in today's newest VR games.

finger movements.
