The ever-faster advancement of technologies opens new opportunities for their implementation in all branches of society. The education system in particular can benefit from the implementation of new technologies. This thesis explores the benefits of using VR technologies in education. The paper is divided into two parts. The first theoretical part explores the classical education system and its features in order to compare the advantages of using the VR system in education. Then the work turns to VR technologies. The history of virtual reality is briefly explored to break down the prejudice that VR is a distinctly new technology that has been invented over the last two decades. After a short history overview, the principle of operation of the VR system is explained and the current state of technology is investigated. After reviewing VR technology, VR in education is explored. Which branches of higher education use VR systems. Advantages and disadvantages of VR in the education system and potential obstacles to the implementation of VR in the education system. In the second part of the paper, a research was conducted where the attitudes of respondents about VR technology and the introduction of VR technologies in education were examined. Topic-related hypotheses are presented, and topic-related problems are defined. Finally, a review is made of the conclusions drawn from the research.
