Abstract:In order to understand the research power of current global virtual reality technology, and to find the shortage and advantage of our country. Selecting the article on virtual reality technology from SSCI-E and SCI of the Web of Science database during 1990-2016 as data source, and using literature metrology methods and indexes and cluster analysis, the article measures and makes an international comparison for the virtual reality technology scientific innovation of major countries from scientific output and research influence dimensions. In the science innovation of virtual reality technology, USA is the most strongest. Germany, France and Italy are in the middle level. However, the six countries, such as China, Japan and Britain exhibit fairly poor capacity.
