Usage Note
Réalité appears in the phrase en réalité ('in reality', 'actually'), which is one of the most useful discourse connectors in French. La réalité virtuelle is virtual reality. The adjective réel/réelle ('real') is related but note that réalité always ends in a silent -é sound, not a nasal.
Examples
