Abstract

VR virtual simulation technology is a computer simulation system that can simulate three-dimensional dynamic space. It comprehensively uses real-time three-dimensional graphics technology, wide-angle three-dimensional display technology, sound, feeling, voice and other technologies to bring vision, hearing, and touch to users Such multi-sensory experience creates good participation and maneuverability. The application of virtual reality technology in medical education has very important practical significance. Some virtual reality systems used in basic medical experiments, clinical practice and research can solve many problems that restrict the development of practical teaching, and their advantages and effects are immeasurable. Medical education is different from other disciplines in teaching methods. It not only teaches learners medical knowledge, medical trends, understands the development trend of modern medicine, but also pays attention to the cultivation of practical skills. The teaching mode of traditional medicine has been far behind the speed of knowledge update. Many abstract teaching contents are difficult to express. Many practical teaching contents and emotional experience are difficult to realize in the teaching process. Moreover, experimental teaching resources are limited. Experiments are dangerous and there are not many opportunities for clinical practice. These contradictions seriously affect the quality and effectiveness of medical education. The purpose of this article is to study the application of VR virtual simulation technology in medical teaching experiments. This article mainly uses the questionnaire survey method to conduct VR virtual teaching experiments in a university in this province, and then conducts questionnaire surveys and analyzes the data of students. The experimental results show that virtual teaching is beneficial to students’ knowledge, performance, and spatial ability.
