What Does VR Mean in a Text?

VR means "Virtual Reality."

Virtual Reality (VR) is a type of Enhanced Reality (XR) in which users can interact with a three-dimensional artificial environment in a seemingly real or physical way. VR requires the use of special electronic equipment, such as a helmet with a screen inside, specially designed rooms with multiple large screens, and/or gloves fitted with sensors.

Popular VR devices include Oculus Quest 2, Sony PlayStation VR, and HTC Vive Pro 2.

VR differs from AR (Augmented Reality), in that VR is completely virtual, while AR enhances the real world environment.

The combination of VR and AR is known MR (Mixed Reality).
