What Is Virtual Reality (VR)?
Virtual reality creates an artificial environment around you. It uses visual and auditory senses and blocks our sense of being connected to the outside world. Then it enables us to enter the virtual world, a computer-generated environment that our brain comprehends real. In order to enter this world of virtuality, you need to wear a special kind of headgear.

Now, that the basics of VR are clear to you, let us discuss the other kind of reality that emerges from VR. Augmented reality not only creates an artificial environment but also allows individuals to communicate virtually.
The concept of Metaverse uses these technologies along with many others and the users can do much more than just interact. Let us take a look at Metaverse would impact the agriculture world.
