Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that can be identical to or completely different from the real world by using special electronic equipment, such as helmets and gloves. Applications of VR can include entertainment (i.e. video games) and educational purposes (i.e. medical or military training). Other, distinct types of VR-style technology include augmented reality and synthetic reality. 

Organizations can utilize virtual reality to create cost-effective environments that do not exist in the real world or to relocate environments from one place to another. With VR spaces and accessories, users can experience new products and services in new environments, in many ways, with simulated people, objects, and experiences.
