There are many difficulties in using cloud computing technology to solve this problem, and edge computing technology just provides an effective way to solve this problem. Changing from two-dimensional to three-dimensional will make education more realistic. This article uses the VR technology algorithm to design and analyze the English teaching system, combined with the current environment and requirements, in the construction of teaching resources, in order to clarify the direction in practical application. Secondly, according to the scene of human behavior recognition, a human behavior data collection, processing and analysis system based on edge computing is designed and implemented. And on the basis of detailed analysis of VR technology, the theoretical basis of VR technology applied to experiment teaching is discussed, and the development of virtual experiment is analyzed concretely using systematic teaching design ideas. VR technology greatly stimulates students’ learning motivation but also significantly improves their interest in learning. In addition, the application of virtual technology has greatly improved students’ learning enthusiasm. According to the findings of this article, based on the application of virtual reality technology, students’ English comprehension skills have increased by 19%, and the degree of resource sharing has increased by 11%.
