"VR" is a Nikon thing. It means "vibration reduction." It's got two parts to it.
In the camera body, there are two angular velocity sensors. One of them detects up-and-down shaking, the other detects side-to-side shaking.
In the lens there is one glass element that's got two motors attached to it. They move the element to compensate for your shaking. The result is you can shoot at shutter speeds far slower than you could without it.
The VR lens only works as part of a system, so if you buy a VR lens and put it on a non-VR camera it won't do you any good.

What does 'IS' mean for digital camera?
For Canon cameras 'IS' refers to "Image Stabilisation". Nikon have the same technology but they call it "VR" - "Vibration Reduction" and other manufacturers have different names for it but they all amount to the same thing. With some SLR camera manufactures the image stabilisation is built into the body of the camera but generally the IS is built into the lens. It reduces the effect of "camera shake" which can make your images blurry at lower shutter speeds.
