Immersive VR is the simulated experience using 3D near-eye displays and pose tracking that makes the user feel as if they are actually present in the virtual world. It creates similar or entirely different simulated environments for applications in entertainment, education, and healthcare. These environments are meant to be interactive and immersive such that users believe they are actually within these virtual settings. VR usually employs headsets with near-eye displays and tracking mechanisms for creating movement and position within the visualization. Additionally, other senses including sound as well as haptics might be included to make the whole experience better.
