<div class="mail_android_message" style="line-height: 1; padding: 0.5em">I would even say:<br/><br/>Virtual reality is a part of reality, but it is provided by means of technology (like any other tool) <br/><br/>I tried a kind of definition in the "Concepts' Descriptions" of the SrrTrains project ( <a href="http://simulrr.sourceforge.net/concepts/001_Glossary.pdf">http://simulrr.sourceforge.net/concepts/001_Glossary.pdf</a> )<br/><br/>Citing:<br/><br/>[...]x) Reality, Virtual Reality, Real Reality
<br/><br/> There is only one *reality*, but every person carries an own model of the
<br/> reality in his/her/its mind.
<br/><br/> This model helps the person to foresee the future development of the reality
<br/> and it helps the person to influence the reality according to God's will.
<br/><br/> *Virtual reality* is a part of the reality that is implemented by means of
<br/> technology and that helps one or more persons (see user) to inhabit a
<br/> virtual scene that needs not be directly related to the *real reality*.
<br/><br/> Strictly spoken, an ancient form of virtual reality is already to sit around
<br/> the camp fire telling stories. Also books and movies form kinds of virtual
<br/> reality.
<br/><br/> Usually we use the *narrow term* of virtual reality, if some minimum
<br/> technological requirements are fulfilled, e.g. the usage of stereoscopic
<br/> realtime computer graphics.
<br/><br/> We use the term *real reality* to denote all parts of the reality that are
<br/> not part of the virtual reality in question, but that are of relevance for
<br/> that virtual reality.
<br/><br/> Anything else is just the reality.
