virtual reality
virtual reality Use of computer graphics to simulate a three-dimensional environment that users can explore as if it were real. A virtual reality system can allow an architect to see what the inside of a building will look like before construction begins. Computer images are produced using an architect's drawings of the building. Some
video games use virtual reality to simulate space-flight adventures and ball games.
