Abstract

The article provides an excursion into the history of virtual reality technologies. The main trends and events that determined the current state of the industry are highlighted. Three historical periods have been identified - before the emergence of the concept of virtuality, the period of initial development and the modern period. In the modern period, medical developments have been intensified significantly. Practical applications of the technology cover the widest areas of medicine. At the same time, evidence-based studies are needed to evaluate their benefits.
