ABSTRACT
Virtual reality is a tool used in education, entertainment and medicine. The key aspect is the immersion in the virtual environment and its degree and complexity of interaction with objects placed around the user. Nowadays, thanks to image recognition technology, interaction with the virtual environment is also done with the user's hands, without additional controllers. The publication presents the benefits of virtual reality in medicine, discusses the complexity of interaction with virtual world objects and the problem of intolerance to virtual reality.
