Virtual reality is high-tech involving multiple disciplines developed at the end of the 20th century. Virtual reality technology can be used in many fields, such as remote control, business, education, entertainment, visual simulation, military, art, architecture, and network. Essentially, virtual reality technology has three basic characteristics: immersion, interaction, and imagination. This study analyzes the advantages of VR technology in the specific application of environmental art design based on case studies and considers the impact of VR technology on human beings from multiple dimensions such as sociology and philosophy. First, it analyzes the application and advantages of VR technology in various stages of the environmental art design. Secondly, combined with cases, it explains the advantages of VR technology in four directions: exhibition, interior, landscape, and planning. Then, it finds out the problems in the application and their solutions. In addition, to solve these problems, you need to explore the answers from more fields such as philosophy and sociology. Then, it discusses the development trend of environmental art design under VR technology and how designers should keep up with the time. Finally, as a designer of the new era, we apply VR technology to our own design and creation practice. We also analyzed the many forms of expression of auspicious images. Through the actual research and induction of modern designers, we summed up its main forms and expressions and drew some conclusions that everyone recognized, which can provide a reference for future designers.
