We have researched an interactive manipulation model of virtual liquid. Representing a vortex, a spinning flow of liquid, simulating a stirring action of liquid, and coloring of the water object through changing the surface color has been developed. In this paper we propose a VR chemical laboratory system using these techniques. This system can be used for different kind of purposes, for example e-learning. E-learning offers potentially cheaper education, increased accessibility and convenience for users. Most existing systems rely on transmitting information through text material, but by adding virtual reality content to the system the learning experience can surely be improved.
