Virtual reality (vr) is a rapidly growing sector of technology that focuses on placing a headset on the head to simulate a totally immersive experience. Vr allows you to place yourself in an imaginary environment where you can experience things without actually being there.
Currently, virtual reality is only available through headsets such as the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive. However, Microsoft Corporation is working on their own vr device called the X-Box One. The X-Box One will feature built in vr capabilities!
