    Virtual Reality aka VR  is a concept that came into existence from a science fiction movie in 1950. Since then this concept came to reality and with many experiments, the first Virtual Reality glass came from OnePlus, with their flagship OnePlus 2. Since then, many other companies made the glasses. This took the world by storm. This even made Microsoft drop into the game. In July 2015, apart from launching Windows 10, it launched it’s own virtual reality product, HoloLens .
