Research Abstract	The purpose of this study is to visualize the information of transfer movements using 3DCG for a caregiver of he or her family and a care worker. First, we analyzed movement on a wheelchair user from wheelchair to bed. Second, we analyzed movement of a caregiver and a care worker for a wheelchair user. Third, we analyzed movement of a caregiver and a care worker of two typical-movement for a wheelchair user. As a result of this study, we propose visual image information that makes the movement information easy to understand.
