Sensory interaction in virtual technology can provide better immersive experience for users. In the field of design, the current virtual products are summarized from the perspectives of vision, hearing, touch, smell and multi-senses, and the hot topics and trends of the research are revealed by bibliometrics. The sensory interaction of the current virtual products is mainly from the interaction of vision with auditory, while the interaction of touch with olfactory is less. Literature research reveals that the research and application of VR is far more than that of other virtual technologies. Among the various senses, vision has been studied the most, followed by touch, hearing and multi-senses, while olfaction has been studied less. Main conclusion: More attention has been paid to the application of visual interaction in virtual products and literature research. Multi-sensory interaction is increasingly valued. The hot topics are virtual reality, human-computer interaction, environment and augmented reality, and keyword analysis indicate virtual environment, human-computer interaction, haptic interface, education are the future research trends.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
