The invention provides a control method and system for virtual shooting training. The method comprises the steps that an imitation gun and a tracker are bound, and the tracker is used for locating theimitation gun; a base station uses two infrared laser transmitters with rotating shafts perpendicular to each other for transmitting infrared lasers according to preset rules, and the position of thetracker and the position of a head display are located; the position of the tracker and the position of the head display are sent to a PC through the base station; rendering is carried out by the PCaccording to the the position of the tracker and the position of the head display, and the rendering result is obtained; and the PC transmits the rendering result to the head display in a wireless transmission manner to display the rendering result. The base station is used for tracking the imitation gun and the head display, meanwhile, the PC is used for rendering, and the problem that imitationtraining cannot be achieved due to limitations and defects of the correlation technique can be overcome to a certain degree; and a manner capable of carrying out imitation training is provided, and the optimal experience operation can be achieved.
