Virtual elevators are studied, by the technology of virtual reality, we develop a virtual identification system for elevator parts and use it on the assessment of elevator drivers. The assessment method used nowadays has some problems, such as the complex process, difficult result statistics and so on. So we propose a reasonable solution to these problems, meeting the needs of practical use. The system is a new application of the virtual reality technology in special equipment education, and the virtual elevator looks like a real one, people can observe the details in several points of views, and it is convenient for the education and assessment. Based on some software such as SolidWorks, 3Dmax and Virtools, the system possesses such advantages as low investment, short development cycle, good operation and interaction.
