Virtual Reality is a computer-generated 3-dimensional simulation of a game or environment, that can be interacted with using special equipment. It is a virtual world with realistic elements, sounds and occurrences comparable to the real world. The simulation is typically run on a device such as a computer, game console or smartphone, and the information is then sent to a VR headset. Upon wearing the headset, the user will be immersed in the virtual world with the ability to move around, interact with characters present and explore the vast virtual world. Nowadays, apart from game creations, VR is applied in other industries such as healthcare, automotive and tourism to name a few.  Virtual Reality is only a type of technology, that involves altering reality and creation of a virtual environment, there exist other types of technologies such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality Augmented Reality (AR)] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixed_reality Mixed Reality(MR)].

Augmented Reality is the superimposition of computer-generated entities onto the physical world. Some applications of AR would be AR doodle, AR emoji camera or even Google AR.AR is a combination between the real and virtual world, but there is no interaction between them whatsoever. This is in fact the primary difference between AR and MR. The equipment required when dealing with AR can be most accessible since a mobile phone can be used to overlay digital entities onto the real world. Yet, for more complex tasks AR headsets or glasses can be used.
