In this study, we developed a virtual reality (VR) earthquake evacuation training system that allows users to wear a head-mounted display and navigate freely within a virtual environment using a controller. Our proposed system provides users with a simulation of evacuation procedures during an earthquake. In the VR environment, users receive guidance about the recommended actions before, during, and after an earthquake and during the evacuation process. By selecting and performing these actions, users engage in evacuation drills that closely simulate real-life scenarios. The aim of our proposed system is to enhance disaster prevention awareness and evacuation skills. We evaluated the system with 30 participants to assess operability, functionality, effectiveness, and sense of presence, achieving high ratings across all aspects.

摘要

In this study, we developed a virtual reality (VR) earthquake evacuation training system that allows users to wear a head-mounted display and navigate freely within a virtual environment using a controller. Our proposed system provides users with a simulation of evacuation procedures during an earthquake. In the VR environment, users receive guidance about the recommended actions before, during, and after an earthquake and during the evacuation process. By selecting and performing these actions, users engage in evacuation drills that closely simulate real-life scenarios. The aim of our proposed system is to enhance disaster prevention awareness and evacuation skills. We evaluated the system with 30 participants to assess operability, functionality, effectiveness, and sense of presence, achieving high ratings across all aspects.
