As an important component of practical teaching in higher education, experimental teaching plays an irreplaceable role in improving students’ practical ability and cultivating students’ creativity. With the development of new engineering education, cultivating innovative talents with highquality engineering practice ability has become one goal of talent training  in colleges and universities. The “White Paper on the Development of a New Generation of Artificial Intelligence” released in 2017  requires that teaching activities for higher education should be more integrated with the idea of artificial intelligence in personnel training, and better promote the reform of modern educational technology and the construction of “Double First Class” universities. We discuss the necessity of constructing an intelligent virtual experiment platform based on the concept of artificial intelligence in new situations, and application cases are used to verify the effectiveness and importance of the proposed intelligent virtual experiment platform. It has good application value, can provide new ideas and is helpful for the reform of experimental teaching and the improvement in teaching quality.
