Establishing fall prediction prevention methods is always essential for the elderly. In the conventional research, the user receives a physical stimulus from the outside, and the sensory organs measure the internal state of the user by intervening an index. In this research, we propose a method of generating a virtual centrifugal force by passing through a VR curve, and measure the internal state caused by the user with an image that does not give a sense of discomfort in the VR space. Therefore, for the purpose of research, the amount of head sway caused by the visual stimulation is measured and analyzed, and based on the results, the effect on human balance is evaluated.
