Virtual reality refers to the technology that simulates the physical presence of a user in an environment artificially generated by a software. This technology has recently been used in the video gaming industry to create an immersive gaming world for the user. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that spread across the world in 2020, many people had to stay at home and find new forms of entertainment without leaving their living rooms. In a 2020 survey in the United States, 71 percent of respondents stated that they spent more time using virtual reality during the COVID-19 pandemic.
