FIELD: computer engineering. SUBSTANCE: device is designed as closed spherical housing which embraces real space for a user and is mounted on bearing for rotation about its center. Said housing has at least one hatch with cap through which user enters and leaves system. In addition device has system which generates virtual space, unit which displays virtual space to user, which is connected to system which generates virtual space. In addition device has unit which converts virtual space according to real physical movements of user while it is located inside housing. In addition device has unit which detects amplitude and direction of user movements with respect to housing and is connected to unit which converts virtual space. In addition device has at least three wheeled bearings which rotation axes are directed towards center of sphere and are displaced with respect to wheel rotation axis. EFFECT: complete illusion of virtual reality. 16 cl, 20 dwg
