A standard catalogue model: the dimensions, control package and finish are fixed, which is what keeps the price and the lead time predictable. Size, colour and interface language can be adapted without a new design cycle.

01 / Overview

Earthquakes are the result of the release of energy from the Earth's interior, primarily triggered by crustal movements. The Richter scale is commonly used to measure the amount of energy released by an earthquake. By measuring the magnitude and intensity of seismic waves, the impact of earthquakes includes building damage, ground rupture, and secondary disasters. There are three experience platforms for the exhibits, which simulate earthquakes of magnitude 4.5, 6.5, and 7 or above. Standing on the experience platform, you can experience the vibration of earthquakes of corresponding levels.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
