In order to understand the international research progress and frontier of the application of virtual reality technology in landscape architecture, based on the Web of Science core collection database, literature metrology online analysis platform and Citespace software were used to analyze the research status and frontier of this field. The results show that the overall number of aeticles is on the rise. China and the United States have the highest number of publications and the closest cooperation between them. Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications has the largest number of publications. IEEE Access, Landscape and Urban Planning and Ieice Transactions on Communications are the major international journals. The international research hotspots in this field are mainly Virtual Reality, Design and System. The current international research frontiers are Internet, Algorithm, Computer Architecture and Internet of Things. With the further development of virtual reality technology in the future, it will bring more possibilities for landscape architecture and promote the development of this discipline.
