VR experiences

Simulated reality sessions

VR experiences are activities conducted through virtual reality technology—simulations that immerse users in computer-generated environments through headsets and sometimes haptic feedback.

The term covers games, educational simulations, virtual tours, and therapeutic applications.

The museum offers VR experiences that let you walk through ancient Rome.

Unlike passive media, VR experiences emphasize the user's sense of presence and agency within the virtual space.
