Virtual reality aims to create near-reality experiences by using technology to simulate sensory experiences. There are different types of virtual reality systems that range from non-immersive to fully immersive experiences. As virtual reality becomes more integrated into daily life through various applications, it has the potential to gradually influence human behavior, communication, culture and economics as people spend more time in virtual spaces. The future of virtual reality envisions it becoming a new computing platform that could one day impact all human senses.
