Abstract
The aspects of using immersive technologies in creating a virtual anatomical student laboratory are considered, such as the development and optimization of spatial models, practical implementation of the system and future prospects. Recommendations for further improvement and optimization of virtual anatomical laboratories are proposed, and the prospects for using virtual reality technologies in medical education and clinical practice are noted.
