With the continuous development of science and technology, virtual reality (VR) technology has gradually become an important tool in intangible cultural heritage protection. This paper aims to design a virtual reality interactive interface to enhance the user experience of intangible cultural heritage protection. Firstly, the design objectives and requirements are determined by analyzing intangible cultural heritage's characteristics and protection needs. Then, an interactive interface design scheme is proposed based on the principle and application of virtual reality technology. The scheme includes user interface design, interaction design, and information display design. Finally, the effect of the design scheme is evaluated through user experiments, and the user experience is analyzed and summarized. The experimental results show that the designed virtual reality interactive interface can effectively improve the user experience of intangible cultural heritage protection, immerse users in the world of intangible cultural heritage, and enhance protection awareness and participation.
