Abstract

With the continuous evolution of virtual reality technology, new forms of media art have emerged. As one of the artistic expressions under this medium, VR animation exhibits characteristics that are distinctly different from those of traditional film media. While embracing the new medium's features, narrative VR animation needs to pay more attention to the delivery of story content. This requires directors to construct a rich and rational guidance system within the virtual space to ensure that audiences can smoothly experience the entire plot without feeling overwhelmed or bored. Therefore, this article shifts the research perspective and explores how narrative VR animation can effectively build a spatial guidance system from the viewpoint of cognitive psychology. It begins by outlining the spatial characteristics of narrative VR animation and then uses cognitive psychology to explain the allocation mechanism of attention resources, analyzing the key spatial factors that attract audiences of narrative VR animation. Finally, taking the VR animation "Gloomy Eyes" as an example, this paper provides a detailed analysis of how it guides the audience through visual, auditory, and motion elements in the virtual space and enhances the viewing experience. The analysis indicates that by integrating the selectivity, sustainability, and transferability of attention, as well as the limitations of cognitive resources, effective guidance designs can be implemented for narrative VR animation in terms of visual, auditory, and motion aspects.
