Design of environmental perception and computer virtual reality technology in urban landscape design

Abstract

This article explored the application of environmental perception technology and virtual reality (VR) technology in urban landscape design (ULD), aiming to solve the problems of insufficient data acquisition, lack of display and interaction methods, disconnection between design and actual environment, and difficulties in multi-professional collaboration in traditional design processes. The ultimate goal is to enhance the scientificity, interactivity, and overall coordination of ULD, and achieve higher quality design results. This article deployed an environmental sensor network for real-time data collection, collecting 100 sets of data per hour, including parameters such as temperature, humidity, lighting, noise, and air quality. Data analysis tools can be used to process environmental data, build a VR display platform to provide an immersive design experience, and develop a multi-professional collaborative design platform (CDP) to achieve real-time collaboration. In terms of method effectiveness evaluation, it provided a detailed evaluation of the environmental adaptability, user interaction experience, collaborative work efficiency, and design quality of the design scheme. The effectiveness and superiority of the article’s method have been verified through environmental simulation, multi-environmental condition testing, user experience survey, and expert review. Before and after the launch of the CDP, the average design cycle was reduced from 120 days to 90 days. 80% of users believed that the platform improved design efficiency, and 75% of users expressed satisfaction with the platform’s collaborative functions. The research highlights the significant impact of the presented method on improving the quality and efficiency of urban landscape design (ULD). In the design quality evaluation, Design 10 achieved the highest scores in aesthetics and innovation, showcasing the platform’s strengths in fostering design creativity and enhancing visual effects. These evaluations underscore the method’s scientific approach, interactivity, and overall coordination, demonstrating its effectiveness in advancing ULD practices.
