ABSTRACT
Regardless of the fact that research into virtual reality seems promising, numbers of theoretical and practical problemscomes to the fore. Improvement of tracking of a graphical element of virtual space, development of neurorehabilitationtechniques in virtual reality in particular nosological forms of diseases, continues research of virtual reality effects on thebrain and the visual system, safety certificate obtainment and VR-system registration for medical purposes. This all is just asmall part of the upcoming organizational and methodical work and practical scientific research.
KEYWORDS: virtual reality, telemedicine, digital technology, medical rehabilitation.
