Glossary

virtual reality (VR)

Short Definition
A simulated environment that immerses users in a computer-generated world, often experienced through a VR headset. VR creates an interactive experience where users can explore and interact with digital spaces.
Relevance
VR offers immersive digital experiences but can be expensive and inaccessible to many users due to the need for high-end hardware. Additionally, VR environments may not be designed with accessibility in mind, excluding users with physical disabilities or sensory sensitivities. Ensuring VR systems are customizable for different needs and lower-tech setups can bridge access gaps.
