Immersion and presence distinguish VR from other media - the brain responds to VR environments as if physically present, creating visceral engagement impossible with screens. Technology foundation includes head-mounted displays tracking position and orientation, audio systems providing spatial sound, and controllers enabling interaction with virtual environments. Experience categories range from passive viewing to fully interactive environments to social spaces where multiple users interact in virtual worlds.
