Synthetic environment

<p>A synthetic environment is a <a href="/facts/Computer_simulation/Re6o8vzN">computer simulation</a> that represents activities at a high level of realism, from simulation of theaters of war to factories and manufacturing processes. These environments may be created within a single computer or a vast distributed network connected by local and wide area networks and augmented by super-realistic special effects and accurate behavioral models. SE allows visualization of and immersion into the environment being simulated.
</p><p>A synthetic environment can be divided into the following:
