Disclosed is a visual and tactile integration assessment method using virtual reality, in which a visual and tactile integration assessment apparatus: supports a first device to provide a full tactile stimulus or an approximate tactile stimulus to a user; supports a process, in which a virtual object comes into full contact or approximate contact with a virtual body image-processed by a third device, to be provided, as a virtual visual stimulus, to the user through a second device; acquires, as first input data, space-time coordinates corresponding to a first contact point at which a certain actual object is in full contact or approximate contact with the user's actual body; acquires, as second input data, space-time coordinates corresponding to a second contact point at which the virtual object is in full contact or approximate contact with the virtual body; acquires, as first output data, space-time coordinates corresponding to the user's response to the full tactile stimulus or the approximate tactile stimulus; acquires, as second output data, space-time coordinates corresponding to the user's response to the virtual visual stimulus; determines, by referring to the acquired data, whether the user's visual and tactile integration is normal; and stores a result of the determination.
