Abstract(in English) This study aims to build effective drill software by combining a virtual simulation of the disaster and that of multiple other persons with emotional expressions. We evaluated the number and the emotional actions of agents evacuated with users in a virtual space. The results showed that users tended to act more confidently when many agents evacuated with the users. In addition, the evacuation route chosen by the agents influenced the users' decision-making.
