VR is a computer technology that uses virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments, sometimes in combination with physical environments or props, to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user’s physical presence in a virtual or imaginary environment.
All modern VR displays are based on technology developed for smartphones including: gyroscopes and motion sensors for tracking head, hand, and body positions; small HD screens for stereoscopic displays; and small, lightweight and fast processors. These components led to relative affordability for independent VR developers, and lead to the 2012 Oculus Rift kickstarter offering the first independently developed VR headset.

Virtual reality (VR) technology utilizes headsets and multi-projected environments to create immersive experiences by simulating users’ physical presence in virtual settings. Modern VR relies on smartphone-derived components like gyroscopes, motion sensors, and HD screens, which have made it more affordable for independent developers. The 2012 Kickstarter campaign for Oculus Rift marked the launch of the first independently developed VR headset.
