Abstract
This chapter aims to describe the multidimensional virtual reality tools applied to healthcare: in particular the comparison between virtual reality traditional tolls and the 360° videos. The VR traditional devices could differ in terms of specific graphics (2D/3D), display devices (head mounted display), and tracking/sensing tools. Although they are ecological tools, they have several problems such as cybersickness, high-cost software, and psychometric issues. Instead, the 360° videos can be described as an extension of virtual reality technology: they are immersive videos or spherical videos that give the opportunity to immerse the subject in authentic natural environments, being viewed via an ordinary web browser in that a user can pan around by clicking and dragging. The comparison between those two technologies stems from the question if 360° videos could solve and overcome the problems related to virtual reality and be an effective and more ecological alternative.
