Virtual Reality is a peer-reviewed open access scientific journal published by Springer Science+Business Media covering research on virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality applications. [1] The editors-in-chief are Daniel Ballin (Ideas Crucible) and Robert D. Macredie ( Brunel University London ). [2]
Virtual reality ( VR) is a simulated experience that employs 3D near-eye displays and pose tracking to give the user an immersive feel of a virtual world. Applications of virtual reality include entertainment (particularly video games ), education (such as medical, safety or military training) and business (such as virtual meetings).
Extended reality (XR) is an umbrella term to refer to augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). The technology is intended to combine or mirror the physical world with a " digital twin world" able to interact with it, [1] [2] giving users an immersive experience by being in a virtual or augmented environment.
A virtual world (also called a virtual space) is a computer-simulated environment [1] which may be populated by many users who can create a personal avatar, [2] and simultaneously and independently explore the virtual world, participate in its activities and communicate with others.

Mixed reality. Mixed reality ( MR) is a term used to describe the merging of a real-world environment and a computer-generated one. Physical and virtual objects may co-exist in mixed reality environments and interact in real time. Mixed reality that incorporates haptics has sometimes been referred to as visuo-haptic mixed reality.
Virtual reality therapy. Virtual reality therapy ( VRT ), also known as virtual reality immersion therapy ( VRIT ), simulation for therapy ( SFT ), virtual reality exposure therapy ( VRET ), and computerized CBT ( CCBT ), is the use of virtual reality technology for psychological or occupational therapy and in affecting virtual rehabilitation.
Augmented reality ( AR) is an interactive experience that combines the real world and computer-generated 3D content. The content can span multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory. [1] AR can be defined as a system that incorporates three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds ...
