contents Detector and event visualization are crucial components of high-energy physics~(HEP) experimental software. Virtual Reality~(VR) technologies and multimedia development platforms such as Unity offer enhanced display effects and flexible extensibility for visualization in HEP experiments. In this study, we present a VR-based method for detector and event displays in the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory~(JUNO) experiment. This method shares the same detector geometry descriptions and event data model as those in offline software and provides necessary data conversion interfaces. The VR methodology facilitates an immersive exploration of the virtual environment in JUNO, enabling users to investigate detector geometry, visualize event data, and tune the detector simulation and event reconstruction algorithms. Additionally, this approach supports applications in data monitoring, physics data analysis, and public outreach initiatives.
