Virtually Real I'd say. "Totally unreal" has connotations (to me:) of  
being not at all real - of being not real - of being the opposite of  
real.

Virtually Real, on the other hand, has connotations (to me:) of being  
real in some aspects, especially in our perception of some or all of  
it. The better job we do with the completeness of the sensorial  
coverage of "virtually", the more difficult it is to distinguish b/t  
"virtually real" and "actually real" -- if entrants in the Very  
Virtual Endurance Rides change their behaviors b/c of that  
participation, then their reality has virtually shifted a bit ... but  
really, what does it really REALLY matter if you're having a good time:)

recent announcement of a suggested proof statement: http:// 
www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090203130708.htm b/f you  
entirely reject the above virtually complete coverage of the really  
difficult topic of real!!)
