“…Although the application of VR has gradually become more popular [ 30 , 31 , 32 ], a complete evaluation model of the healing effect of VR has not yet been formed in landscape therapy research under colour preference for people in mental subhealth states. The experimental scenes constructed by virtual reality technology have better performance in terms of immersion, realism, third dimension, depth of field, and even comfort [ 33 , 34 , 35 ]. In the existing research, most of the observation, questionnaire, interview, and other methods of investigation focus on the subjective behaviour and feelings of the subjects and use it as an evaluation criterion for environmental health benefits, while there are fewer related studies on the acquisition of objective parameters such as virtual environment experiments as agent indicators.…”

From the perspective of emotional preference, studies have been conducted about landscape healing for subhealth people in the National High-Tech Zone (the study area). Combined with a preliminary practice investigation, Unity 2019 was used to make a digital roaming landscape, and 91 subjects with a history of mental subhealth diseases were randomly invited to participate in the immersive experimentation of the Human–Machine Environment Synchronisation (ErgoLAB) platform. After the experiment, the subjects were invited to fill in a Likert scale as the control group. The interest preference, emotion fluctuation, and healing effect of landscape colour were verified. The results show that: (1) The variation trend of interest reflected the concentration of interest in landscape, and the order of degree of interest, ranging from high to low, went Green > Yellow > Blue > Red > Orange > Purple > Cyan. (2) The subjects’ interest in landscape colour was correlated with the arousal of positive emotions. The correlation between interest in landscape colour and positive emotions, from high to low, went Blue > Green > Yellow, while the correlation between red, cyan, orange, and purple was not significant. (3) The mean skin conductance (SC) fluctuation variance of subjects was 5.594%, which confirmed that the healing effect of digital roaming landscape scenes was significant under the state of low arousal. According to the Likert scale data, subjects’ scores of the healing effect of landscapes, from high to low, went as follows: Green > Yellow > Red > Blue > Cyan > Orange > Purple. The results provide a new method for demonstrating the logical relationship between the digital landscape interest experience–emotional awakening–healing effect and providing a theoretical method and construction scheme for landscape colour configuration in the implementation of landscape healing projects.

“…Importantly, VR technologies enable users to immerse virtually in architectural spaces. VR simulations have especially become a popular technology for design review due to the 4 ELVER BOZ, DEMIRKAN, AND URGEN perceived benefits associated with the representation of scale, depth, and volume (Paes et al, 2021). Defining the boundaries of an architectural immersive environment imitates that of a visual living space.…”

“…The adoption of information technologies is considered to be an effective strategy to optimize, integrate, and support construction processes in architecture (Eastman et al, 2008; Paes, 2019). Among the many technologies, VR is a well-established research support tool in many architectural domains that focus on spatial cognition, perception, and behavior (Brade et al, 2017; De Kort et al, 2003; Higuera-Trujillo et al, 2017; Kuliga et al, 2015; Paes et al, 2017, 2021; Taşli & Özgüç, 2001) and have many advantages compared to real environments.…”

Visual perception of architectural spaces and human aesthetic experience in these spaces have recently received considerable interest in cognitive science. However, it has been difficult to construe a common understanding of aesthetic experience for architectural space, since different studies use different scales to measure aesthetic experiences. In this interdisciplinary study spanning cognitive science and architecture, we aim to provide an empirically driven systematic characterization of human aesthetic experience and investigate what aspects of the architectural spaces affect aesthetic experience. To this end, we manipulated various architectural variables including the shape of the curvilinear boundaries of architectural spaces as well as their size, light, texture, and color in virtual reality. We then had people evaluate these spaces by exhausting a large list of commonly used scales in the literature and applied principal component analysis to reveal the key dimensions of aesthetic experience. Our findings suggest that human aesthetic experience can be reduced to 3 key dimensions, namely familiarity, excitement, and fascination. Each of these dimensions are differentially affected by the various architectural variables revealing their differences. In sum, our study provides a comprehensive framework to characterize human aesthetic experience in virtual architectural spaces with curved boundaries.

Extended reality (XR), including augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR), can make complex information more intuitively understandable. However, it still needs to be determined which XR technology is the most suitable for reviewing performance‐based building design, during which architects check whether design strategies increase energy efficiency, indoor environment quality and so forth. It requires comprehensive design and simulation information to be vividly represented. The authors develop three XR apps (AR, MR, and VR) to interactively visualize façade fenestration geometries and indoor illuminance simulations. Then XR technologies are assessed by 120 students and young architects, from task performance and engagement level two aspects. The task performance is measured by correct rate and time consumption two indicators, while the engagement level is measured by usability and interest two indicators. Evaluation results show that compared to AR and VR, MR is the best XR technology for this aim. VR outperforms AR on three indicators except for usability. By exposing three different XR technologies' performances in aiding fenestration design, this study increases the practical value of applying XR to the building design field.
