Virtual reality is a 360-degree artificial environment, which creates the sense of real presence in spatial terms. Several medical fields utilize its mentioned property. The aim of this study is to show the history of virtual reality from 1960 to 2000 and its first ten years in healthcare. Struggling technological development was led by talented computer scientists as Ivan Sutherland and Thomas Furness. Education and psychiatry were the first two fields of virtual reality in medicine. Scientists discovered the negative aspects of virtual reality already at the beginning as a cybersickness syndrome. Both technological and medical development was slow however it contributed gradually to our contemporary and highly developed technology.
