ABSTRACT
We introduce a disaster simulation system that supports collaborative planning of disaster measures. While several simulation tools are available for examination and evaluation of disaster prevention plans, they are limited to use on traditional computers and displays, and rarely used in collaborative planning sessions. To address this issue, we have designed and prototyped a tabletop tangible user interface for disaster simulation. This paper describes the design and implementation of our prototype and reports our preliminary user observations and their feedback. The results show that our system can effectively support collaborative emergency planning tasks by a group of users and that users can easily learn how to use our system.

Collaborative Planning Gameplay from Disaster Response Practice
CHI PLAY '15: Proceedings of the 2015 Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in PlayDisaster response involves collaborative planning with contingencies, an activity rarely featured in gameplay. Working from years of ethnographic investigation of fire emergency response, urban search and rescue, and incident command, we develop design ...
Simulation experiment of routing strategy for evacuees and disaster responders
ADS '14: Proceedings of the 2014 Symposium on Agent Directed SimulationUnder urban crisis situations, one of the most important response tasks is routing the vehicles. Such crisis initiates a massive evacuation from the disaster scene to the outside; at the same time, crisis responders have to enter the scene. Whereas we ...
Development of the Nankai Trough Disaster Simulation and Personal Digital Assistant
ACIT-CSI '15: Proceedings of the 2015 3rd International Conference on Applied Computing and Information Technology/2nd International Conference on Computational Science and IntelligenceIt is predicted that Nankai Trough Earthquake will occur in the near future in Japan. Based on this prediction, we develop the disaster simulation by Projection Mapping. Our study aims to promote disaster information visualization, disaster reduction ...
