Abstract(in English) The most important thing for urban planning is to realize the pleasant environment for people who live in the city. As they estimate this conformity, we consider that VR technology which is used in human-scale virtual urban planning environment is very useful. This paper aims to construct human-scale virtual environment with haptic function. We develop the system called "virtual umbrella" which is able to experience unconformity that is vibration of the umbrella by building wind when we had our umbrella in our hand and walk through buildings.
