This paper explores the application of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies in the preservation of world heritage, focusing on key technologies such as 3D modeling, panoramic photography, display technology, audio technology, motion sensing interaction, transmission technology, registration positioning technology, and GIS (Geographic Information System). By introducing the principles of these technologies and their specific applications in the digitization of cultural heritage, the paper demonstrates how VR enhances heritage preservation and interactive experiences. The research shows that VR not only enables the restoration of damaged heritage but also improves the display and public engagement of cultural heritage through the integration of virtual and real elements, real-time interaction, and multi-sensory enhancement. Additionally, the combination of GIS and AR technologies provides innovative methods for navigation and protection of large-scale heritage spaces. This paper aims to highlight the potential and significance of VR technology in cultural heritage preservation and offers a reference for future research and practice in related fields.
