ABSTRACT
Psychological health problems of university students have been increasingly serious in recent years, which has gradually become a major focus of healing landscape design. But virtual landscapes emerge as urbanization intensifies and the limited land area makes nature increasingly far away from people in the city. 20 high-pressure university students were selected to test their stress relief in virtual landscape environment by using VR equipment and portable heart rate detection equipment under the guidance of attention-recovery theory. Results show: (1) most of the participants in the virtual landscape show a more relaxed and natural mood and a certain degree of stress relief; (2) they indicate that vision is the most important of the five sensory experiences in the virtual landscape experience; (3) among the virtual landscapes, the choice of time period also affects the release of emotional pressure and is optimal in the early morning and evening.
