Virtual Reality-based Visualization of Optical Illusion in the Art and Design Field

Virtual reality technology has transformed numerous fields, including art design, where its implications are particularly profound. This study explores the integration of optical illusion with virtual reality to offer novel expressions and perspectives in art. This approach generates unparalleled visual effects by leveraging visual discrepancies and augmented reality. It softens the divide between the virtual and tangible worlds, enriching art design’s creative domain.Our research demonstrates the effective visualization of three-dimensional objects and the streamlined post-processing of images. Employing optical illusion technology, we observed an average enhancement of 37% in the accuracy of categorizing illusions, alongside a notable increase in the perceived depth of images without special equipment. Specifically, the perceived three-dimensional effect of images processed through this technology scored an average of 67.57, significantly from the unprocessed images’ score of 54.83. Furthermore, a case study on ‘No Signal’ design illustrates how dynamic optical illusions can dramatically amplify the visual impact and novelty experienced by viewers.In summary, applying optical illusions grounded in virtual reality technology profoundly enhances artworks’ visual appeal and broadens art design’s expressive capabilities. This advancement holds considerable theoretical and practical relevance, underscoring its significance and potential in art and design.
