The definitions are all similar. Who cares where its from. What matters is what they say. Wiki was just the easiest to copy paste.

Tell me, if this is VR, why isnt the game on your TV VR? The only difference is the proximity of the screen.

TV doesn't not have the same technologies as the headsets.  Certainly doesn't evoke the same feelings.  

 

they are calling it VR, is because we are finally reaching a point where we can trick the brain into thinking that it's reality.  

 

The reason they are calling it VR is for marketing purposes and recognition. By definition, anything providing artificial stimuli is VR. The only difference between TV and a VRHeadset is the degree of immersion, via proximity and intesity of artificial stimuli. VR works by decreasing external stimuli (noise) while increasing artificial stimuli because its objective is to control perception more directly than something like a tv or radio which only aims to simply output that stimuli.
