virtual environments
Computer-generated worlds
Virtual environments are digital spaces that simulate physical settings, allowing users to interact with computer-generated surroundings.
In gaming and training, virtual environments create immersive experiences: The flight simulator's virtual environment replicated actual cockpit conditions.
In programming, particularly Python, a virtual environment is an isolated workspace that keeps a project's dependencies separate from other projects: I set up a virtual environment before installing the new packages.
