In this study, we investigated the sense of high fear according to height with virtual body model in a virtual environment using non - transmissive head mounted display in relation to the reality of high-rise building's virtual reality contents. For this purpose, the virtual reality contents about watching down from the high-rise building and the user 's virtual body model which is composed of the lower body shape were produced. For the ergonomic evaluation, 18 stimulations were performed according to the six random heights and the presence of the virtual body after the presentation of the reference stimulus about 10m height in the virtual environment. In addition, a variance analysis was performed on the results of each factor, and a sub-test based on the Bonferroni correction was performed. As a result of the analysis, in the result of the height sense, the average view point of the virtual body display condition was evaluated to be higher than the condition of the virtual body notation or object display under all conditions according to the change of the viewpoint of height. This suggests that the user has a strong sense of presence as if he or she is in the virtual reality space. And, as a result of the analysis of the fear of a of heights, a significant difference was found in the main effect of virtual body display (F (1,29) = 10.201, p <0.05). In addition, the significance was confirmed by simple interaction (F (1,29) = 5.444, p <0.05) in the virtual body display and the virtual body display condition. Through this, it is confirmed that the expression of the user 's virtual body improves the reality of the head mounted display contents.
