Immersive technology are technologies used to interact with an immaterial environment. These technologies can be used for development, especially through the acquistion of skills.
Immersion into virtual reality (VR) is the perception of being physically present in a non-physical world. The perception is created by surrounding the user of the VR system in images, sound or other stimuli that provide an engrossing total environment.
Examples[edit | edit source]
- Virtual reality
- Artificial intelligence
