Abstract
The experiment was conducted that a maze with several virtual person figures, the route was set in a virtual environment, and a route guidance sign is displayed there. The three conditions of display were; height of the sign, congestion of the maze and height of the virtual figures treated as experimental variables. We analyzed the head movement recorded by the head-mounted display to evaluate how the subjects obtain surrounding information when experimental variables change. As a result, it was concluded that the smaller the difference between the height of the sign and the height of an obstacle (human) existing on the route, the more stable and easier to walk. Therefore, when providing route guidance in the real space using AR technology in the future, it is easy to walk by displaying the route guidance signs at a height close to the obstacle.
