Abstract
Digital realities include virtual, augmented, mixed and mediated reality, as well as the collective concept of extended reality. The rapid progress is theoretical advances and practical applications of these technologies can complicate the interpretation of the relevant terms, especially when they are used in medicine. The article discusses some issues of the emergence and formation of virtuality and virtual reality technologies. Medical interpretations and applications of various types of digital realities are considered. The relationship between digital realities within the concepts of extended reality and all realities is studied. Special attention is paid to the issue of different approaches to the definition of augmented and mixed reality.
