得益于计算机技术、人工智能技术、多媒体技术、传感器技术等的迅速发展，虚拟仿真在科学领域已经得到了广泛的应用并具有巨大的市场需求。在地质学中，国内外高校已经将虚拟仿真技术应用到教学中，使其打破了传统教学的时空限制。但目前虚拟仿真在该领域的应用还存在场景内容欠缺，交互感不足，细节展示不够等问题。为能够进一步拓展虚拟仿真技术在地质学中的应用思路，文章对虚拟仿真技术在多个科学学科中的应用情况进行研究，介绍了面向地学的综合型、国际化的沉浸式虚拟仿真实验室实例。综合型的地学虚拟仿真实验室的建立，将深度融合地学与虚拟仿真技术，为多学科交叉融合、国际化教学等未来的教学发展方向提供更有效的平台。

With the rapid development of computer technology, artificial intelligence technology, multimedia technology and sensor technology, virtual simulation has been widely used in the scientific education field. As for geology, plenty of universities have applied virtual simulation techniques which could break the space and time limitation of traditional teaching methods. However, deficiencies exist such as short of professional virtual scenario, interaction and detail display. In order to improve the current situation and further expand the application of virtual simulation technique in geology, this paper reviewed the application of virtual simulation technique in various scientific disciplines and introduced a comprehensive and international immersive virtual simulation geoscience laboratory. The establishment of a comprehensive geoscience virtual simulation laboratory efficiently combining geoscience and virtual simulation technology could provide a more effective platform for future geoscience based interdisciplinary education.
