The virtual world is like a parallel reality created using computer technologies. Imagine a computer game or even a movie where you can not only watch but also be a part of it. For example, with VR goggles, you can "enter" another world, like in a fairy tale, where you can interact with objects and other characters.
For some, the virtual world is magic, because with its help we can experience the impossible in real life: flying, walking on other planets, or even being superheroes. But in reality, all of this is real, as it is created by programmers, designers, and other specialists using modern technologies.
One example is the popular game Minecraft, where you can build entire worlds out of blocks. This is also a virtual world that becomes a reality for those who play, as you can create, interact, and even learn within it.
The virtual world is an artificially created digital environment that simulates a real or fantastical world, with which the user can interact through a computer, smartphone, VR goggles, or other devices.
Main features of the virtual world:
- Digital origin — exists only in electronic form
- Interactivity — you can interact with objects or other users
- Illusion of presence — it creates the impression that you are "inside" this world
- Your own set of rules — for example, physics, time, space, economy
