Abstract
In the event of a disaster such as a large-scale tsunami or torrential rain that threatens to inundate a city, evacuation to a safe zone is a matter of time. Even if you have prepared for disasters in your daily life, there is a possibility that you may be damaged in a strange place where you happen to be, such as on a business trip or a vacation. In such a situation, when there are no reliable people or signs around to guide people to an emergency evacuation site, information obtained from a mobile information terminal can be relied upon. In addition, if information on how to get off the road is provided, it will assist in evacuation as soon as possible. However, there are no such efforts, especially in the area of route guidance support on smartwatch. In this study, we investigate whether it is possible to shortcut through off-road areas by presenting the minimum necessary information on a narrow screen such as a smartwatch. For this purpose, we conducted an experiment in which a video shot by a 360-degree camera was projected in a VR space, and the screen of a smartwatch was presented within the video.
