Virtual reality transports the user to a simulated environment that is completely different from the reality that surrounds him. This immersive experience makes the user feel that they are inserted into an alternative reality, as if they were really there, but everything is just a computer system. The technology induces visual and sound effects, allowing total immersion in the virtually simulated environment. The user can interact or not with what he sees around him. It’s like being inside another world!
