City planning or presentation is significant to government policy and general public. Therefore city design should be understandable by everyone, regardless of their ability or knowledge. In this study, viewpoint linking of physical scale models and Virtual Reality(VR), as a city presentation system, is developed and evaluated. It can be said that the system is better on the application and usability in the aspect of presenting urban landscape and environment. Moreover, to improve the accuracy of the developed system, an experiment using two AR markers was executed. By considering the actual city condition, the system error decreased to less than 4mm; in the previous experiment it was more than 10mm. Finally, the system was tested and evaluated by professionals and obtained high appraise.
