Virtual reality(VR)and augmented reality(AR)technologies demonstrate immense potential in environmental art design.This paper explores the synergistic role of VR and AR technologies in this field from three perspectives:their collaborative effects,application challenges,and synergistic pathways.VR and AR technologies provide innovative design tools and methods through the innovation of the design process,enhancement of environmental performance,and transformation of education and training.However,technological and equipment limitations,content production and development challenges,and user acceptance and experience issues constitute the main application obstacles.Finally,this paper proposes synergistic pathways including seamless integration of design and display,cross-team collaboration and user engagement,and the enhancement of education and training.These pathways aim to fully leverage the synergistic role of VR and AR technologies in environmental art design,thereby advancing the design industry.
