Summary/Abstract: So called »virtual reality« is often spoken of as of »Seeming reality« or seeming of reality. Nevertheless, »virtual reality« or computer generated and supported reality is no less real or no more virtual than other fragments of reality. It is special in so much that it can be manipulated -so that the term cyber-reality would suit it better since it is the term used in other computer related idioms -but other fragments of reality also have their uniqueness and laws applying just to them without being equalized to »feinting«. Cyber-reality is one more proof that the total reality - virtual or not - is a part of men's world and his creation.
