As numerous types of components and complex combinations exist, the overall structural system and how they are interlocked have always been crucial but challenging parts of the study. Students find it hard to understand and remember the concepts using traditional 2D paper media, making such knowledge unattractive to pass on to the new generation. To overcome the challenges, this research aims to examine the effect of combining Virtual Reality (VR) with digital interaction games in learning structural characteristics (dougong) of ancient Chinese architecture.Design/methodology/approachThis research develops an interactive cognitive system in the VR environment based on constructivist theory to improve the learning approach of ancient Chinese architecture. Applying an experimental procedure, the feedback of an experimental group using the VR cognition system ...

Getting the users’ feedback of schemes thus to optimize their positive interactions with spaces is essential to increase designs’ quality and attraction. However, uncovering users’ true thoughts is challenging because it is difficult for laypersons with no professional design background to describe how architectural elements can affect their emotions. This study aims to use digital technology to comprehend architectural elements’ impact on users’ perception. Specifically, it combines virtual reality (VR) with biosensing technology to detect users’ emotions, guiding designers to improve their design schemes. In this context, to propose a method of evaluation, this research adopted the International School of Design of Harbin Institute of Technology's outdoor spaces as the empirical case. VR had been applied as a visualization tool to construct a dynamic and immersion environment that imitates the campus space. Then s...

In the future, it is necessary to study the influence of not only the built environment on people but also people’s feedback on environmental design. This study explores the processes of interactive design using both emotion recognition and eye-tracking of users. By putting on wearable devices to roam and perceive in a virtual reality space, the physiological data of the users are collected in real-time and used to analyze their emotional responses and visual attention to the spaces. This method will provide an auxiliary way for non-architectural professional users to participate in architectural space design. At present, there is a lack of research on the comprehensive application of eyemovement knowledge and emotional feedback in architectural space design. This integration will help professional designers to optimize the design of architectural spac...
