Virtual reality (VR) is an interactive computer-generated experience that incorporates visual and auditory feedback to make the user feel like they are in a new environment. VR immerses the user, while augmented reality overlays digital elements on the real world. The evolution of VR began in the 1950s and key developments include the Sensorama in the 1960s, the term "virtual reality" being coined in the 1980s, and the introduction of consumer headsets like the Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard in recent years. VR has applications in healthcare, education, design, and entertainment.
