Abstract:  In order to better grasp the research hotspots and theme evolution of virtual reality, the application status of scientific papers on virtual reality funded by NSFC ( National Nature Science Foundation of China) projects in China was analyzed by using bibliometrics and itginsight. The results show that virtual reality research is in a period of rapid development, and it is expected to continue to increase during the 14th Five Year Plan period. School of architecture and urban planning, Tongji University, School of resources and civil engineering, Northeastern University, and State Key Laboratory of virtual reality technology and systems, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics have the greatest academic influence Journal of system simulation, modern electronic technology and Chinese Journal of image and graphics have the most papers. The research topics mainly involve virtual reality, visualization, key technologies, realism, digitization and other research hotspots. With the change of research topics, virtual reality has always been a hot topic, and new concerns such as visualization and robotics have emerged in the later stage.
