This document provides an overview of virtual reality (VR), including: - VR allows users to interact with simulated 3D environments through electronic devices like goggles. - The first VR experience was called Sensorama in 1957. NASA developed early VR headsets in the 1980s. - Modern VR headsets use screens, sensors for head tracking, and audio to immerse users in 3D virtual worlds. Software is developed using programming languages like C++. - VR works by simulating real presence using computer-generated imagery and content across the senses like sight and sound. Sensors like gyroscopes track head motion to update the virtual view.
