Virtual reality (VR) is a technology which allows a user to interact with a computer-simulated environment, be it a real or imagined one. Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones.

Virtual reality (VR) is a technology which allows a user to interact with a computer-simulated environment, be it a real or imagined one. Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones. Some advanced, haptic systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback, in medical and gaming applications. Users can interact with a virtual environment or a virtual artifact (VA) either through the use of standard input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, or through multimodal devices such as a wired glove, the Polhemus boom arm, and omnidirectional treadmill. The simulated environment can be similar to the real world, for example, simulations for pilot or combat training, or it can differ significantly from reality, as in VR games. In practice, it is currently very difficult to create a high-fidelity virtual reality experience, due largely to technical limitations on processing power, image resolution and communication bandwidth. However, those limitations are expected to eventually be overcome as processor, imaging and data communication technologies become more powerful and cost-effective over time.

Going to school without leaving home means getting yourself enrolled in any school anywhere in the world without leaving your home. You get your lessons through the internet. When you go to school, you simply "log in" and "virtually" you are just like in the school campus technically speaking. The web site of the school that you were enrolled and therefore "log in" when going in to it is called "virtual campus" The cost in making a virtual campus is the cost in creating a website that would differ depending on where you are located and the size, complexity or sophistication level that your website would appear and of course the expertise of the person doing it for you.
A virtual campus is a school without the real campus, hence, the term "virtual reality" or virtual campus. From the standpoint of expanding the services of a school, in this case, you expand your campus without spending on the construction of the real campus. You only spend on the creation of the website and the collateral cost of maintaining it.

There is no such thing as virtual reality. The virtual world is different from the real world. The virtual doesn't exist and is just an off spring of our imagination. for some people its a sort of escapism to get away from the real world...research secondlife.com
