virtual means "not real". So when you see the words "virtual reality" it actually means "not real reality".

VITURAL! Something that's almost like and replacable the real but it's not real. It can be or can not be replaced the real but depends on do you accept it or not? I think you should understand this word by your mind not with a speech.
