Humans experience the world through our five senses: hearing, sight, taste, smell, and touch. We tend to be visually-oriented, taking in much of our information about the world through our eyes. Virtual reality aims to create an immersive experience for users by filling their entire field of view. But incorporating other sensory input can enhance the visual display aspect to create more vivid experiences - called "XR" for Extended Reality.
