The Practice of Virtual Reality Technology in Interior Design Education and the Cultivation of Artistic Design Thinking

Virtual reality technology has been used in many aspects of life, and its exploratory use in interior design teaching has also achieved better results. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of interior design teaching and the features of virtual reality technology and to design the application of virtual reality technology in interior design teaching ideas. Virtual reality technology is mainly used in the display of works. Students can have an immersive experience through the simulation of indoor space scenes in order to better understand the teaching content. This paper describes the presentation process of the simulated indoor space scene, which is presented through perspective projection, which presents a three-dimensional stereo image through graphic transformation. According to the teaching practice to verify the application effect of virtual reality technology in interior design education, using controlled experimental method to verify the effect of virtual reality technology on the cultivation of students’ artistic design thinking, and finally analyzing the students’ satisfaction with the application of virtual reality technology and interior design education through questionnaires. 68% of the students said that virtual reality technology is very helpful for their independent learning ability, and 71% of the students said that virtual reality technology can cultivate art and design thinking and improve classroom attention. It shows that virtual reality technology plays a facilitating role in interior design education. © 2024 Zhiyang Li, published by Sciendo.
