“…However, the use of more immersive technology, where users can navigate and interact with the model in 3D, might be beneficial for an understanding of the product. For example, mediating a design review process with the use of virtual reality (VR) might result in a higher number of identified design issues (Banerjee et al, 2002;Satter and Butler, 2015;Berg and Vance, 2016;Freeman et al, 2018). The use of VR reduces the required cognitive effort needed for envisioning the product and, therefore, enables a more thorough analysis of a product (Liu et al, 2014).…”

“…Developing understanding of the influence that different technologies have on spatial perception will enable identification of parameter values upon which those technologies would be most efficient at simulating reality and facilitating the design process (Paes et al, 2017). While comparing VR and other technologies for reviewing CAD models, researchers in the engineering design field pointed out that simplicity/complexity of the observed product might influence the study outcomes (de Casenave and Lugo, 2017;Freeman et al, 2018). Previous studies on the usability of VR have ranged from geometric primitives to more complex devices such as cars in engineering design domain (Berg and Vance, 2016;de Casenave and Lugo, 2017;Freeman et al, 2018).…”

Use of virtual reality (VR) is considered beneficial for reviewing 3D models throughout product design. However, research on its usability in the design field is still explorative, and previous studies are often contradictory regarding the usability of VR for 3D model review. This paper argues that the usability of VR should be assessed by analysing human factors such as spatial perception and taking into consideration the complexity of the reviewed product. Hence, a comparative evaluation study has been conducted to assess spatial perception in desktop interface-based and VR-based review of 3D models of products with different levels of complexity. The results show that participants in VR more could perceive the fit of user interface elements, and estimation of the model dimensions had a lower relative error than in desktop interface. It has been found that various sensory cues are used to perceive the model size and that the employed sensory cues depend on the level of complexity. Finally, it is proposed that differences between a desktop interface and VR for reviewing models are more evident when reviewing models of higher complexity levels.

To extend a broad application of blockchain technology to the fields of online English education, this paper aims to improve a virtual platform for English teaching and learning of landscape design majors, mainly composed of presentation layer, business layer, and data layer by analyzing the performance of the proposed algorithm, and comparing with other existing algorithms. In the platform, through the service layer, the communication between the presentation layer and the data layer is completed, and the data in the data layer is transferred to the presentation layer. The user first establishes a connection with the server in the presentation layer. Using the transmitted data information, the server assigns an identifier to the user and establishes a role model. Users can download the teaching courseware through the server and simulate the real learning scene by controlling the interaction of XAML files. The results show that the virtual teaching platform makes the interconnection of users (students and teachers), machines, and things at any time and any place; realizes information self-verification, transmission, deep unsupervised learning, and management; and gives students a more realistic visual experience in high security.

“…Reviewed design artefact might also limit the generalisation as reviewers' use different sensory cues while perceiving models of different levels of complexity. Next, as previous studies found significant differences in design understanding between different toolsets in VR (Freeman et al, 2018), the findings of this study are limited to a single toolset used in VR. Finally, part…”

This paper suggests that analysing the effect of visualisation technologies during design reviews should include variables related to design reviewers’ expertise and focus on the process variables rather than the outcomes. The experiment showed better averages in terms of design understanding for groups in desktop interface than for groups in virtual reality. However, the observed difference might also be due to experience with the technology. Finally, regardless of the visualisation technology, higher expertise group showed consistently better design understanding than lower expertise groups.
