*Virtual reality (in English, virtual reality or VR) is a technology that allows a person to be immersed in a digitally created artificial world. It can be a reproduction of the real world or a universe totally imaginary. The experience is both visual, auditory and, in some cases, haptic with the production of an effects return. When the person is equipped with the appropriate interfaces, such as gloves or clothing, they can then experience certain sensations related to touch or certain actions (blow, impact, etc.).

Education, training/simulation, tourism, architects, … so many varied fields that move away from its primary function, which is entertainment.
