Visual Analysis of Application of VR Technology in Landscape Architecture
In this study,CiteSpace software was utilized to visually analyze the research literature of virtual reality(VR)technology in landscape architecture within the CNKI database,with the aim of unveiling the current re-search status and trends in this field.The findings indicate that domestic research has progressed through four sta-ges:embryonic(2007-2012),exploratory(2013-2016),rapid development(2017-2022),and stable development(2023-present).There is limited collaboration among domestic research teams,most of which conduct independ-ent studies with minimal communication.Research directions can be categorized into five areas:planning,design and application;plant landscape design;landscape healing;digital landscape and cultural conservation;and teach-ing research.The focus of the research lies in landscape architecture planning and design,application,teaching re-form,and practical teaching.Plant landscaping and green space may emerge as key areas for VR technology re-search in Chinese landscape architecture in the future.It is imperative to enhance professional talent training and technological applications to advance digital developments in landscape architecture.Furthermore,promoting in-terdisciplinary integration along with multiple technological combinations will expand new perspectives on land-scape healing research.
