So, how does virtual reality work, and why is it such a significant tech evolution? How Does Virtual Reality Work? An Introduction Virtual reality creates an end-to-end mechanism that replaces our natural “real-world” environment with an immersive simulation. Driving simulators are perhaps the best example of this.
