Abstract :
Since the virtual reality technology has some special characteristics, such as immersion, interaction and imagination etc., which is very suitable to the simulation teaching. In this paper, we integrate VRML, ASP, 3D, JavaScript etc to design and build a virtual laboratory (VL). In VL, considering about the visual, auditory, tactile and other feelings, we adopt the monomer combination model mechanism to simulate the real physical applications. Meanwhile, to improve the interactivity, we utilize the visual interactive method to realize the realistic virtual experiment effect. The VL builds a computer assembling virtual laboratory platform, which changes the traditional teaching pattern and supports students various reusable experiment platform without the constraints of time and place.
