Virtual Reality Technology Applications In The Art Of Urban Planning

With the rapid development of science and technology, the gradual improvement ofcomputer hardware, virtual reality technology gradually become a hot research field ofinformation. The use of high-performance computers to build a realistic3Denvironment makes the experience immersed in a virtual environment with differentways to interact with objects in the virtual world. Currently, the virtual realitytechnology has been widely used in a number of areas, and into our daily lives.How to plan their own living environment to perfection in the traditional methodsof design and planning program, has been looking for less than a new way out. Intraditional urban planning and design, are often the first to make a sand table model,sand table model is proportional to zoom, either designer or visitors, only from the pointof view overlooking a bird’s eye view of the entire planning area. The various detailscan not experience, time consuming due to the production of the model, modify the costis higher at the same time, in itself there is considerable limitation, often the lastinformation obtained is not accurate. In recent years, research on the methods andmeans of urban planning, and gradually the virtual reality technology into the city’splanning and construction of a new technical means, to provide for the planning andconstruction of the city.First, the concept of virtual reality technology, the characteristics and compositionof the study. Then analyze the problems of the urban planning and construction, thevirtual reality technology is applied to urban planning and construction, and PenglaiCity, for example, the method of three-dimensional modeling and virtual realitytechnology in urban planning. Finally, the application of virtual reality technology inmultiple areas of urban planning elaborate.
