Websters New World College Dictionary 4th edition copyrighted 1988 
Macmillan USA, page 1597 left column "virtual reality" defined as:

"virtual reality - the computer-generated simulation of three 
dimensional images of an environmnet or sequence of events that some-
one using special electronic equipment may view, as on a video 
screen, and interact with in a seemingly physical way"

Maybe someone with a more current edition can update this definition.

I would think that "VR" is a good acronym. 

Virtual Reality appears to have been around since 1988 for it to be 
in the dictionary.  I wonder how many years ago the term virtual 
reality first appeared in the dictionary ? US, Europe other 
languages ?
