Can you imagine that in the early stage of computer development, computers were hulking Goliaths locked in air-conditioned rooms and used only by those conversant in esoteric programming languages. And no one think it will bring lots of benefits to human beings. Similarly, the early stage of virtual reality development that was limited by the computer processing speed was quite slow, but in recent years, the fast data processing speed of computers make VR technology booming and illusions really convincing. In general, Guiding systems are often presented by text, 2D images and video, and it’s rather boring and not interactive. This research focuses on using virtual reality technology to develop VR guiding system of an MRT with 3D images that replace 2D. Therefore, the users can browse freely in the virtual environment, and interact with the interior equipment more fun. In addition, another focuses of this paper was the data analysis from questionnaires. The questionnaire survey was conducted to collect the reaction of participant after experiencing the guiding system, and then analyze the survey data with statistical software that is via the attitude and perceived behavioral as two control parameters to realize the practical application of the system.
