The technology of virtual reality is an advanced computer user interface technology, which provides users witha variety of intuitive and natural real-time senses and interactive means in the aspects of vision, touch, taste,etc, thus realizingthe most convenient user-computer interaction without any complicated keyboard operation and improving the efficiencyof the whole system. virtual reality is basically characterized by immersion,interaction and imagination. The designerand the user can get the comprehensive result of survey and design when the virtual reality technology is applied.The landscape architecture designing. Furthermore, this technology can show the user or designer the total information onlandscape space, enable the user or designer do some long-distance on-line browsing and communicating,make computerassisteddesigning and decision, and help the public participate. However, there are several key problems in application ofvirtual reality technology landscape architecture designing, such as modeling of virtual environment, real-time 3D-imagegeneratingtechnology, interactive technology and system integrating technology. With the rapid development of virtualreality technology and the active participation of the landscape architects, the application of the virtual reality technology.The landscape architectural designing will surely bring along the innovation of the methodology and essence of landscapearchitecture designing.
