An Augmented Reality Application for the Community Learning about the Risk of Earthquake in a Multi-storey Building Area

Journal Title: EMITTER International Journal of Engineering Technology - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

Area surrounding tower is a danger area when earthquake attack. It has an enermous risk. People in this area have to know the risk for their safety. Socialization, simulation, and learning media need to be provided continuously to improve people awareness on the importance of knowledge about the earthquake risks. The media that can reach all society is a mobile application. An application that contains earthquake information in the surrounding area of tower is the solution to this problem. Earthquake learning application that is able to explain level of risk in detail and easy to understand. For more immersive interactions, we propose the augmented reality on mobile application to visualize the simulation of earthquake effect on the tower. The augmented reality provides the conditions with 3D modeling. So, users have experience to feel the level of damage and safe distance in the tower area. The evaluation result shows that 84% respondent appreciates this application. First common users do not know the risk of earthquakes on the surrounding area of the tower, and they understand the importance of earthquake risk in buildings after use this application.
