Application Research of Virtual Reality as a Tool for Design

Abstract: The aim of this study is to explore the advantages, feasibility and potential of applying head-mounted display (HMD)-based virtual reality (VR) in design work. The problems associated with working with desktop interfaces (DI) and the feasibility of using virtual reality as a solution was identified by research and review related paper. The advantages and problems of performing general operations under VR or DI condition was explored by a comparative experiment. According to the results of the review and the comparative experiment, we summary and analysis the advantages and problems of each aspect of nowadays DI and VR. Otherwise, we made a further review to discuss the solution of the problems of HMD-based VR. Finally, this paper proposes suggestions for the application of VR in design working, meanwhile, with the development of technology, VR will be applied better.
