Abstract: In this paper, the virtual experiment teaching system of transplanting machine is analysed in detail, and the important influence of virtual reality technology on experiment teaching is discussed. The virtual experiment model of the system is designed, then the transplanting machine and the working scene are established in virtual reality environment, and furthermore, the virtual teaching system is designed. Pro/Engineer and 3D Studio Max software are used for three-dimensional modelling, animation rendering and production; the Unity3D software is used to create virtual reality scene, model visualisation operation, accurate positioning, as well as the user and teaching interactive interface, database and scoring system. It realises the virtual laboratory on the computer and gives the learners an interactive learning experience. The system realises zero cost of the experiment equipment, and the virtual operation has the extremely high security; the learner can repeatedly operate enhances the study efficiency as well as the multimedia can save the experiment time.

Keywords: transplanting machine; virtual reality; teaching system.
