Abstract: This work aims to optimize users' immersive experiences, enhance design effectiveness, and construct a scientific evaluation system for landscape design. The work begins with the collection and analysis of spatial data from the landscape design area, using 3D animation technology to generate visual models and virtually reconstruct key landscape elements. Next, the overlay method is applied to visually stratify elements within the space, progressively building a multi-layered, logical spatial structure to enhance realism and information communication efficiency in landscape design. To evaluate design effectiveness, a user experience questionnaire and behavior tracking experiments are designed. The questionnaire covers three dimensions: immersion, satisfaction, and interactivity, while the behavioral tracking experiment collects data on user dwell time and gaze movement in virtual scenes. Results indicate that the design scheme based on 3D animation and layering significantly outperforms traditional designs in terms of immersive experience, clarity of structure, and user engagement. In the questionnaire, the average satisfaction rating for the design scheme is 4.7 (out of 5), with an immersion rating average of 4.8. The behavioral tracking experiment shows a 40% increase in dwell time compared to traditional designs, and users' willingness to revisit improves by 26% compared to the control group. This work innovatively applies 3D animation and overlay methods to experiential landscape design, confirming the practical value of this method in optimizing user experience and design effectiveness.
