Professor Luis Ceferino and his team want to better understand people’s behavior during an earthquake so that we can improve earthquake safety protocol. For this study, they attempted to create a realistic and immersive earthquake experience for test subjects. This involved synchronizing the motion of the Shake House, an earthquake simulator at the California Academy of Sciences, with a virtual reality environment they developed.
