摘要

Traditional Chinese architectural painting (jiehua), utilizes multi-perspective spatial composition and deliberate blankness (liubai) to create dynamic, interpretive visual experiences. These spatial and aesthetic conventions can pose cognitive challenges for non-Chinese viewers, particularly those familiar with Western single-point perspectives. Study 1 investigates these perceptual barriers through sketch-based interviews. Building on these insights, Study 2 presents an early-stage Virtual Reality (VR) prototype featuring perspective toggling and contextual annotations. Preliminary feedback suggests that these features enhance both spatial comprehension and immersive engagement. Future research will expand user testing to museum environments and broader cross-cultural contexts.
