Is Star Atlas a VR?

I'm curious, can you clarify if Star Atlas is truly a virtual reality experience? I've heard mixed opinions on whether it's purely a game, a simulation, or a full-fledged VR platform. Could you elaborate on its capabilities and features, specifically related to its virtual reality aspects, if any? Are users able to immerse themselves in a 3D environment and interact with the world in a way that feels truly immersive and lifelike?
