the walking environment by the 5-point method objectivity added was calculated using the weight

conducted. In parallel, 13 respondents watched this comparisons for each item, and has the degree of
animation which was recorded by using the importance of each evaluation item answered by a 9-
omnidirectional camera (RICOH THETA V) at 12 point method. In the questionnaire, the responses
selected sections (Zones) by wearing the head were got from 4 people who have more than a certain
mounted display (HMD). To avoid influence the level of knowledge about the walking environment.
