Abstract

The introduction of virtual simulation technology offers a novel pathway to bridge the gap between classroom instruction and practical application in environmental design education. Aiming at existing shortcomings in traditional environmental design courses—particularly weak practical components and insufficient development of students’ innovative abilities—this study develops an immersive teaching platform supported by Virtual Reality (VR). It restructures course content and teaching methodologies, ensures smooth implementation through faculty training and industry-university collaboration, and adopts a phased approach by starting with small-scale pilots and gradually expanding the initiative. Specifically, the “Exhibition and Display Design” course utilizes virtual simulation, enabling students to complete the entire process of planning, designing, and showcasing within virtual exhibition spaces. This greatly stimulates students’ interest and creativity. The reform outcomes demonstrate that VR technology significantly enhances students’ practical abilities and creative thinking, improving both teaching efficiency and quality, and providing valuable insights for innovation in environmental design education. Additionally, this reform aligns with the broader trend of educational digital transformation, aiding in cultivating digital design talent suited to future needs.
