Title: | Awareness on Seismic Risk: How can Augmented Reality help? | Issue Date: | 12-Jun-2017 | URL: | http://icesd.hi.is/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/AID_29.pdf | Keywords: | Non-structural damage Earthquake hazard Augmented reality Risk reduction Dissemination |
Subject Classification: | 04. Solid Earth::04.06. Seismology::04.06.11. Seismic risk | Abstract: | To communicate the importance of knowing the risk of non-structural damage caused by earthquakes, we developed applications based on Augmented Reality (AR) features. These applications run on mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, by using their video camera and other on-board sensors, such as GPS, accelerometer, and gyrocompass, from which AR users do take advantage. Combined with a specifically designed exhibit, our AR applications can contribute to increase the common awareness on seismic risk, providing useful information on how to have safer homes in case of an earthquake. Building codes do not take into account non-structural elements, leaving communities at risk of injuries, blocking escapes and even causing deaths. In this framework, the personal preparedness is of paramount importance. The development of our AR applications is supported by the European project KnowRISK (Know your city, Reduce seISmic risK through non-structural elements). |
