This study aims to examine the effectiveness of disaster education using VR-based exhibitions to enhance the visibility and comprehensibility of evacuation signs during disasters. The goal is to contribute to raising disaster awareness and fostering the acquisition of practical disaster preparedness knowledge. Specifically, the research investigates how the format of evacuation signs and disaster-related information presented in a VR environment affects their visibility and cognitive load, and assesses their applicability to real-world evacuation behavior. Furthermore, by utilizing VR-based simulations, this study seeks to optimize evacuation signs and propose an information design that functions effectively in real-world environments.
