This study developed two distinct types of remote heritage virtual tourism programs, namely VR and AR. We utilized the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) model to understand how users’ perceptions of vividness and interactivity in VR and AR influence their sense of presence and perceived authenticity. Furthermore, we explored how the sense of presence and perceived authenticity further impact tourists’ responses, including satisfaction and behavioral intention. The findings indicate differences between VR and AR in several aspects. To elaborate, in the context of VR, vividness significantly influences perceived authenticity, an effect not found within the AR setting. Furthermore, interactivity impacts the sense of presence in AR, but this is not the case in VR. Within an AR setting, a user's sense of presence directly influences their level of satisfaction, yet no corresponding impact was found in VR. Even though the results show varying influences of presence on user intention in VR and AR, no significant differences were discovered. By gaining an in-depth understanding of tourists’ actual perceptions of VR and AR applications, this study provides insights for heritage site managers on how to employ VR and AR to enhance the efficiency of virtual heritage experiences for tourists.

With the global rise in the prevalence of diabetes, diabetic patients need innovative footwear designs to reduce the risk of foot ulcers. This study examined the mechanical properties of diabetic shoe midsoles featuring auxetic lattice structures. Through the construction of finite element models and simulation, this research compared the biomechanical parameter differences in the plantar regions of the metatarsal head, midfoot, and hindfoot when wearing two types of auxetic midsoles with internal angles of 60° and 75° and a non-auxetic midsole with an internal angle of 90° under both walking and running conditions. Compared to the non-auxetic midsole, the auxetic midsoles significantly reduced the peak plantar pressure and optimized the pressure distribution across various plantar regions. Notably, the auxetic 60° midsole reduced the peak plantar pressure by 19.68–55.25% and 16.19–54.39% compared to the non-auxetic 90° midsole during walking and running, respectively. This study also verified that the auxetic midsoles exhibited greater adaptability and compliance to the plantar foot shape, contributing to reductions in plantar pressure in comparisons of deformation values and plantar contact areas across the different midsoles. Auxetic midsoles manufactured using 3D printing technology have significant potential to prevent diabetic foot ulcers and maintain human foot health. This research integrates insights and techniques from materials science and ergonomics, offering a new direction for footwear design.

Since digital technology has had a significant impact on the fashion industry, digital fashion has become a hot topic in today’s society. Currently, research on digital fashion is focused on the transformation of enterprise marketing strategies and the discussion of digital technology. Despite this, the current study does not include an analysis of the audience’s emotional and cognitive responses to digital fashion on social networking platforms. A comprehensive analysis and discussion of 52,891 posts about digital fashion and virtual fashion published on social networking sites was conducted using k-means clustering analysis, Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling, and sentiment analysis in this study. The study examines the public’s perception and hot topics about digital fashion, as well as the industry’s development situation and trends. According to the findings, both positive and neutral emotions accompany the public’s attitude toward digital fashion. There is a wide range of topics covered in the discussion. Innovations in digital technology have impacted the creation of jobs, talent demand, marketing strategies, profit forms, and industrial chain innovation of fashion-related businesses. Researchers in related fields will find this study useful not only as a reference for research methods and directions, but also as a source of references for research methodology. A case study and data reference will also be provided to industry practitioners.

This paper aims to construct a product form evolution design method integrating the TRIZ contradiction matrix, which is used to eliminate the contradiction between users’ psychological expectations and product engineering requirements, thus simplifying the product form evolution process. We first obtain the psychological needs of users during the whole process of using the product through behavior analysis and then perform an ergonomic simulation of the product to obtain the engineering properties of the product. On this basis, we construct the TRIZ contradiction matrix and solve the contradiction matrix according to the TRIZ theory method. In this way, the ergonomic engineering design attributes of products and the psychological needs of users can be relatively independent, so that the conflict between the ergonomic functional attributes and the psychological needs of users in the design matrix can be effectively transformed into a general TRIZ problem to provide intuitive guidance for product form design. In addition, a detailed design case is provided, which shows that this method can simplify the difficulty and complexity of product form design, and users are more inclined to use the optimized product.

National cultural parks are a new form of tourism in China. These parks focus on cultural heritage. Many studies have examined the cultural ecosystem services (CESs) that parks provide from visitors’ perspectives. However, there needs to be more research on the perceived heterogeneity of CESs among different social groups, especially residents, and the relationship between the supply and demand of CESs. This study uses visitor-employed photographs to reveal the landscape features offered by national cultural parks. This study also analyses the relationship between landscape elements in national cultural parks and CESs, as well as the heterogeneity of users’ perceptions of CESs. The results show that the resident group and visitor group agree on the importance of a sense of place in national cultural parks. However, there are differences between the two groups regarding their perceptions of inspiration, recreation, cultural heritage, and social relations in the parks. Residents are most concerned with the parks’ sense of place and social relations. In contrast, visitors are more interested in inspiration, recreation, heritage, and a sense of place. This study highlights the different needs of residents and visitors from the CESs provided by national cultural parks. It also provides insights for the landscape planning and ecotourism management of cultural heritage-type parks.

Street commerce is the basic unit of urban structure and an important part of people’s life. With the continuous advancement of online commerce, people’s consumption habits and consumption patterns have begun to change. (1) Background: During the epidemic, the global business environment changed dramatically, and traditional street business has also been hit hard, leaving a lot of idle space. The question is how to solve the problem of activating the commercial street space after its decay, and realize its sustainable development. (2) Methods: This paper takes the commercial space of Nonglin Street as the object, constructs the relevant factors affecting the commercial space of the street by using the theory of scenes, and collects the data by means of a field investigation and questionnaire. According to a weight analysis and satisfaction analysis, the advantages and disadvantages of the commerce in Nonglin Street are understood. (3) Results: The importance of the three variables of the appearance, comfort and diversity of the commercial space in Nonglin Street is very high and the satisfaction is low. (4) Conclusions: Nonglin Street need to increase diversified forms of business, open block space, integrate regional cultural symbols, and improve the management model of street commerce.
