A virtual world is usually defined as a computer-simulated environment where users can create a personal avatar and independently interact with the environment (or world) and one another. Usually, virtual worlds are communities of users or players that come together within a specifically made online alternate reality in which they actively participate. Virtual worlds differ slightly from Virtual Reality (VR) in that they are not exclusively generated in 3D and unequivocally require special equipment to fully immerse the user within the developed 3D world. A virtual world may be in 2D or even an all-text environment (like a chat room) as long as the required presence of interacting users is met. Notwithstanding, VR-generated worlds still fall under the classification of virtual worlds since, aside from the need for specialized equipment, the virtually generated environment and interacting users are still there.

In 2014, developers Graham Gaylor and Jesse Joudrey created a virtual world application of a VR headset called the Occulus DK-1. This was the beginning of VRChat. Initially, the 3D environment was intended only for VR headsets, but as its platform grew, anyone with a capable enough PC and internet connection could join the fun. This made VRChat a generally encompassing and flexible virtual world where users from all over the globe could spend their time online engaging in varied social and gaming activities. In short, VRChat became a hybrid social media and gaming site. As VRChat grew through the years, so did the features and options available for the users to experience, and VRChat today may look like a far cry from the way it was when it first started.

Foremost, VRChat is a social site. It may not be like Facebook, but people go there to socialize. Socializing with others means spending only some time chatting and joking around. The VRChat platform provides several activities that users can get involved in to enjoy their visit to the site. Aside from communicating with others via the wide range of VRChat avatars (both standard and custom-made), users can engage in group activities like playing competitive and team-based games and crowd drawers like singing, dancing, and all-out partying. Many introversive people have made many friends they would otherwise never have met or approached if not for VRChat. Since users are located worldwide, the extent of the non-possibility is much larger.

With that placed aside, we now focus on the virtual world aspect of VRChat. The platform is a virtual world because aside from the community and user interaction requirements fulfilled, it has a vast number of excellent, breathtaking environments or virtual worlds to choose from and join. The platform encourages content development and creation, and many users with either programming or artistic backgrounds have made much progress with the platform's development resources (SDK). Today in VRChat, you can play a horror or mystery adventure game similar to those downloaded online via PC or mobile devices. The games are environments or worlds within VRChat itself, and whether the user uses a VR headset or a computer monitor/screen, the settings are a wonder to behold.

Aside from games, the number of virtual worlds one can visit has increased exponentially. You can see worlds in the vacuum of space or under the oceans and gaze at the myriad of stars and heavenly bodies, as well as marine life in the deepest depths of the sea. You can explore caves and underground labyrinths (and meet a Troll or two), take a stroll inside a theme park, and sample whatever rides and offerings they have. The possibilities are endless, and each virtual world offers a unique experience. All these wonders will be available if your computer can connect to the VRChat server, all these wonders will be available. Even with a computer screen, the experience of these worlds would be worth it.

A virtual world will only be complete with something or someone to interact with. Usually, you will be one of many visiting these great environments. You will find users everywhere, and if you make an effort (no matter how introverted or shy you are), the chance of stumbling upon an avatar to befriend is a sure thing. Avatars come in all shapes and sizes (literally), and many users go to great lengths to make their avatars as eye-catching as possible. Many opt for the comedy side, but only some are the same, and you will find a wide array of personalities roaming around. Nevertheless, as long as one sticks to the guidelines and take extra care with one's conversations with strangers, VRChat and its virtual worlds will guarantee a user a virtual world experience like no other today.
