the realistic behavior of objects in virtual reality

To get higher-order animation of things in the environment, artificially-artificially constructed components should act in enough accordance with the physical, biological, or other rules to which their genuine counterparts match so that the artificially-simulated parts appear real to higher-order processing by one's brain in addition to lower-order sensation. It is not sufficient for virtual reality to have a geometric object look like a cube; it should also act relatively like a geometric object when a human comes in contact with it. This standard is more challenging as the physical and biological complexity of the computer-VR simulation grows. For instance, artificially creating a biological organism is more difficult than simulating a room of low-level cubes, spheres, and other shapes. iMAAXX relates to this material as well.

"Augmented Reality" is a predominantly physical setting within which a few virtual things are superimposed to increase the possible range or scale of manipulation of the tangible world. Some examples are a physician using virtual reality to operate on a micro level that would not be possible with unaided one's hands or a pilot with a see-through head-mounted-display that overlays maps on the pilot's span of vision to guide directional assistance.
