===Description===
WikiProject Virtual reality and augmented reality is a child project of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games|WikiProject Video games]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Software|WikiProject Software]], and [[WikiProject Computing]]. The main purpose of this WikiProject is to improve and create articles related to virtual reality and augmented reality. My main motivation for creating this project is to increase the amount of virtual reality articles (specifically video game). Note: this proposal is incomplete. Please come back when this proposal is actually completed.

Link to categories within the scope of the proposed project. (See [[Wikipedia:Link#Links_to_Wikipedia.27s_categories|How to link to a category]].) Successful WikiProjects usually have thousands or tens of thousands of articles within their scope. If there are fewer than 100 articles within the scope, then a separate WikiProject is inappropriate. Try joining a bigger, existing group.

* Well, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Software|WikiProject Software]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing]] as well as the other computer related WikiProjects are pretty much dead. And [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games|WikiProject Video games]] is more focused on other stuff.

*'''Comment''' I would just call this proposal WikiProject Virtual reality, since augmented and mixed reality still require virtual stimulation to help produce the results, and virtual reality is the significantly common topic amongst society.
