Affordable Mobile Virtual Reality Earthquake Simulation

Abstract

Earthquake is one of the natural disasters that often occurs in Indonesia. Recorded data from 1779 to 2010, earthquakes that occurred in Indonesia were more than 48,000 with strength greater than four on the Richter Scale. Therefore, earthquake simulations are carried out in offices such as schools, offices, and so on. This research focuses on using virtual reality as an earthquake simulation drill to give a better experience to the user. This research also tries to reach as many people as possible so that it's built on Android and doesn't need any additional tools, just VR glasses, with the help of Google VR prefab. The results show that the earthquake simulation drill through virtual reality is more familiar and save time than the traditional earthquake simulation drill used by the comprehensive institution.
