Research on innovative methods of virtual reality course content for tourism education

Abstract

Tourism practice teaching is an important means to cultivate high-quality skilled tourism talents. When virtual reality is in tourism practice, teaching undoubtedly shows a beautiful blueprint for modern tourism education. The article demonstrates the advantages of the application of VR technology, designs a VR practical training system for tourism education, and develops VR resources and interface interaction design for tourism education. Based on the binocular stereo imaging model to obtain maximum and minimum parallax, and combined with the adaptive weight PSO algorithm for optimizing tourism virtual scene viewpoints. Then, a comparison test for teaching was designed using the VR training system for tourism education. By analyzing students’ eye movement data to understand the viewpoint optimization effect of the AW-PSO algorithm, we also verified their learning performance, learning experience, and academic mood changes. The edge strength and clarity of the virtual scene obtained by the AW-PSO algorithm were 67.06 and 14.71, respectively, and the theoretical score of the experimental class students was 83.15, which was 9.06% higher than that of the control class students. Based on tourism education, VR practical training systems can effectively enhance students’ learning interest and academic mood for tourism education courses and help develop high-quality tourism education courses in colleges and universities.
