3. How does VR make us feel like we are inside a game?VR uses a headset that covers your eyes and shows you a computer‑made world. It hides the real world and shows you only the virtual one, so you feel like you are actually there.
4. What is the difference between AR and VR?AR adds digital pictures or information on top of the real world, like a picture on a phone screen. VR, on the other hand, replaces the real world with a completely new digital world inside a headset.

Virtual Reality (VR): A completely computer-generated environment that users can interact with, typically experienced via a headset.
Augmented Reality (AR): The overlay of digital information, graphics, or objects onto the user's view of the real world.
Mixed Reality (MR): A technology that fuses the physical and digital worlds, allowing virtual objects to interact with real environments.
