RELATION BETWEEN PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS AND WINDOW SIDE DESIGN IN HEIGHT

The purpose of this paper is to measure a mental stress when the person looks down at the outside from the height by the experiment, and to clarify whether it changes by the difference of the design of the window side. The testee experiences the movie that looks down at the outside from the skyscraper with Head Mounted Display (HMD), and testee's Electro-Dermal Activity (EDA) at that time is measured. EDA is an index of a mental stress. The design of the window of 30 patterns was measured. In addition, testee's EDA was measured by an real height space. It was found that the best factor in the design of the decision of the increase and decrease of EDA is a cover rate in respect where the outside is seen, and EDA is in inverse proportion to the cover rate. It doesn't increase any more though EDA increases up to the height of 100m in an actual space.
