Introduction

An immersive virtual environment is a software environment where the user(s) experience some kind of physical "presence". We therefor can distinguish several types of these environments:

Non-immersive virtual realities or virtual environments are not part of this category.

The difference between virtual, mixed and augmented realities are usually defined as follows:

In a virtual reality, the users are fully immersed in the software environment and do not interact with the real world.
In an augmented reality, virtual objects are overlayed over the real world.
In mixed reality overlayed objects are anchored in the real world. E.g. when a used manipulates an object in the real world it can affect the virtual environment.
