With the development of new technology, visual media combined with dynamic image and audio have been widely used in tourism industry. In recent years, the integration of real and virtual travel experience has been promoted. Video (2D) and virtual reality (3D) have become important marketing tools. The main purpose of this study is to examine the differences between video and VR representations of recreational environments on participants’environmental experiences in terms of the cognition of sense of presence, environmental emotion, and approach-avoidance behavior. The study adopts an experimental design. A total of 72 college students are recruited as research participants. They watch four types of environmental clips under the condition of video or VR. The results of the study show that the sense of presence in terms of spatial presence, involvement, and realness is more obvious for the viewers of VR clips than for the viewers of video clips. The emotional responses regarding pleasant and arousal are stronger for the viewers of VR clips than for the viewers of video clips. In terms of approach behavior, the viewers of VR clips are more significant than the viewers of video clips. However, no differences exist in the avoidance behavior between the two groups of viewers. Based on the results, suggestions are made for the application of visual media in tourism marketing. |
