What is virtual?

Virtual means something that is not physically present but is created or simulated by software or technology (like the metaverse). For example, a virtual reality (VR) headset like an Oculus can simulate an immersive experience of a different environment, such as a rollercoaster ride or a flight simulation. Another example of virtual technology are virtual meetings, where people use software like Microsoft Teams or Zoom to communicate with each other from different locations.
