Usually, virtual reality is implemented with the help of computer technologies such as:

• headsets,
• omnidirectional treadmills,
• special gloves, etc.

All these systems ensure the stimulation of human senses with the aim of creating the illusion of reality. To create a sense of presence, hardware, software and sensory synchronicity should be combined in a proper way.
