Virtual Reality:
While the word
"virtual" is typically overused in the computer world, it
is aptly placed in the phrase "virtual reality." According
to the American Heritage Dictionary, virtual means "existing or
resulting in essence or effect though not in actual fact, form, or
name." It can also mean "created, simulated, or carried on
by means of a computer or computer network." Therefore, virtual
reality is best described as an illusion of reality created by a
computer system.
A person may enter
a world of virtual reality by putting on special glasses and
headphones attached to a computer system running the virtual reality
program. These devices immerse the user with the sights and sounds of
the virtual world. Some virtual reality systems allow the user to
also wear gloves with electronic sensors that can be used to touch or
move virtual objects. As the user moves his head or hands, the
computer moves the virtual world accordingly in real-time.

agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of
The Living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in
them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith The Lord, and
touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

A Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith The
Lord Almighty.
