虚拟现实技术在中国古建筑教育的应用——斗拱文化体验式教学软件的设计与实现

Application of virtual reality in Chinese ancient architecture education:Design and implementation of experiential teaching soft of bucket arch culture

近年来虚拟现实技术日渐成熟,已经逐步应用在教育领域。为优化教育方式、实践教育改革,文章利用虚拟现实技术设计并实现了佛光寺斗拱文化体验式教学软件。针对佛光寺斗拱复杂度高、分辨构件难等问题,利用虚拟现实沉浸性、交互性、想象性的优势,构建一个交互式的虚拟仿真环境,让建筑类专业学生可以亲自动手参与斗拱搭建的过程。此斗拱文化体验式教学软件相较于传统的学习方式趣味度和知识保留程度更高,揭示了虚拟现实技术在古建筑教育领域使用的有效性,对传承中国古建筑文化有积极意义。

In recent years, virtual reality technology has become increasingly mature and has gradually been applied in the field of education. In order to optimize the education mode and practice education reform, the article uses virtual reality technology to design and implement a bucket arch culture experiential teaching application for the famous ancient architecture Foguang Temple. The components of the bucket arch have the characteristics of high complexity and difficulty in distinguishing. Because of the immersive, interactive, and imaginative advantages of virtual reality, architectural students can participate in the process of bucket arch construction in the virtual environment. The results of student participation show that the bucket arch learning virtual reality platform is higher than the traditional learning mode in interest and knowledge retention. It reveals the effectiveness of virtual reality in the field of ancient architecture education and has positive significance for inheriting ancient Chinese architectural culture.
