The invention discloses an image acquisition method, a virtual reality image transmission method and a virtual reality image display method, wherein the image acquisition method is applied for realizing virtual reality technology. Furthermore at least five image acquisition devices are supplied for performing image acquisition. The image acquisition method comprises the steps of S1, simultaneously acquiring images in different directions from a current position through the image acquisition devices; S2, defining a spatial cube so that six planes of the spatial cube correspond with six different directions and the images which are associated with the six directions to planar images that correspond with the six planes; S3, transmitting or storing the planar images which are associated with the spatial cube; and S4, moving to a next position for repeating the step S1, or repeating the step S1 after waiting for a preset time period at the current position. The image acquisition method, the virtual reality transmission method and the virtual reality image display method have beneficial effects of reducing number of redundant picture lattices and eliminating distortion of an equator position, a south pole position and a north pole position which correspond with the spherical surface in a spherical chart.
