The technology that allows for the creation of immersive virtual environments primarily involves virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). VR creates fully simulated experiences where users are immersed in a digital world using headsets and sensory peripherals. On the other hand, AR overlays digital content onto the real world, enhancing user interaction with their environment. These technologies are widely used in gaming, training simulations, and educational applications, providing engaging experiences that can improve learning outcomes and user involvement.
