VR headset

Digital world viewer

A VR headset is a head-mounted device that displays virtual reality content, blocking out the physical world and replacing it with computer-generated imagery.

Sensors track head movement to adjust the view accordingly, creating the illusion of being inside a three-dimensional environment.

Used primarily for gaming, training simulations, and immersive entertainment: She strapped on the VR headset and found herself standing on a cliff edge.
