Virtual reality

Virtual reality is the creation of an artificial reality using computer technology, with the intent of the reality being nearly indistinguishable as reality itself. Though popularized in entertainment media through various presented forms such as the holodeck of the modern Star Trek TV series, it is uncertain whether computers will be able to reach the point of replicating such convincingly real environments even for gaming purposes.
