The three main types of Virtual Reality (VR) are:

  1. Non-Immersive VR

    • Users interact with a virtual environment through a computer or console but do not feel fully immersed.
    • Examples: Video games, flight simulators, and architectural visualizations.
  2. Semi-Immersive VR

    • Provides a more interactive experience using large screens, 3D graphics, or projection systems but lacks full immersion.
    • Examples: Flight simulators, educational training programs, and VR museums.
  3. Fully Immersive VR

    • Offers a completely immersive experience using VR headsets, motion tracking, and haptic feedback.
    • Examples: Oculus Quest, HTC Vive, PlayStation VR, and high-end VR training simulations.

Each type of VR serves different purposes, from entertainment to professional training and education.
