Abstract: In view of problems of single means and unsatisfactory effect of traditional coal mine safety training, the paper proposed a coal mine safety training system based on virtual reality technology. The system applies 3DS MAX and Virtools DEV of virtual reality development software to complete device modeling, scenario building and development of interactive system, so as to realize simulations of coal mine risk precontrol, accident case reappear and accident emergency rescue. The application result shows that the system can effectively improve pertinence and implementation effect of coal mine safety training through three-dimensional simulation and interactive mode, so as to improve safety consciousness and reduce safety accident.
