Abstract: 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.

Key words: virtual simulation, geology, field practice, multiplayer collaboration, multidiscipline integration
