ABSTRACT
A seismic simulator based on a 3-degrees-of-freedom (3-DOF) motion base is presented in an immersive augmented reality (AR) environment to provide effective earthquake response training. To mimic an environment similar to that of an actual earthquake, the proposed system provides users with precisely synchronized visual and motion haptic feedback. The motion haptic feedback is designed using a 3-DOF motor-based actuator to generate a momentum similar to an actual earthquake. In addition, scenario-based seismic content was designed for effective visualization in an AR setting to create a more immersive environment that provides a response training program for earthquakes beyond simple experience.
