Our country has always attached great importance to the cultivation of talents and the development of education. As education has now entered the information age, there have emerged more new concepts, new demands and new challenges, which require us to constantly absorb new technology to improve and optimize the education system. After studying the current application of virtual reality technology and the shortcomings of the education system, this paper tries to take the Industrial design Department of China Academy of Art as a sample to explore the new way of applying virtual reality technology in the field of art teaching. Through the combination of vision and software, we try to create a new digital system for the Industrial design department, build a personalized creation virtual space for students, and provide functions such as virtual tour, online class, virtual exhibition, space construction and alumni exchange. This research has certain social significance. It combines technology with art education and helps to enhance the efficiency of education.
