Electronic media are picking over a dominant role in education, one of the key responsibiliies of healthcare professionals. At present, even professional education uses websites, blogs, video blogs, and mobile applications. Virtual imaging is another newly available technology. It offers reality-like experiences, which can be useful for picking up, processing, memorizing, and subsequent utilizing of information by the user. Despite relatively short availability of virtual imaging, some hardware options can be now employed together with content primarily aimed at educating healthcare professionals.
