Aiming at the pain points in the practical teaching of Applied Optics and Information Optics, such as high equipment cost, complex operation, disconnection between theory and cutting-edge technology, and insufficient learning initiative of students, this paper introduces VR/AR (virtual reality and augmented reality) technology to build an immersive and virtual practical teaching system, combined with the research background of optoelectronic information, VR/AR and 3D display technology. This paper elaborates on the integration idea of VR/AR technology and practical teaching of optical courses, designs a three-level practical teaching mode of “virtual simulation experiment—comprehensive practical project—research project connection”, optimizes the teaching content and evaluation system, and verifies the effectiveness of this mode through teaching practice. The research results show that the application of VR/AR technology can significantly improve students’ practical operation ability, research interest, and knowledge application ability, effectively solve the bottleneck problems of traditional practical teaching, and provide reference for the practical teaching reform of similar optical courses.
