ABSTRACT: Virtual reality is simulated environment which is created with the help of software tools. It immerses the user in this artificially created environment and makes him feel the reality. The user interacts in this environment using special hardware tools such as VR headsets, gloves for haptic feedbacks and display screen for visualizing. Other output devices used are mouse, chaser, speakers and so on. The scope of this technology has expanded in various domains. It is an emerging technology which can lead to more advanced and automated performance of various tasks. One of the major applications is in medical field. This technology finds its application in diagnosis of disease, training medical professionals academically and practically, aiding doctors while performing surgeries and therapy. These potential applications are studied and described briefly. Also, this technology can be used for marketing medical devices, disease awareness and patient education. Additionally, future prospects of this booming technology are studied.
