Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, ICT-based Disaster Education (ICTDE) systems that use wearable devices (e.g., smart glasses) have been developed and their effects have been evaluated through preliminary experiments and educational practices.
(1) Tsunami Evacuation Drill System: This system aims at tsunami evacuation drill with a high sense of urgency (i.e., high reality) by presenting dynamic tsunami hazard maps (customizable tsunami simulation) on smart glasses. (2) Evacuation Instruction Training System: This system aims at evacuation instruction training (for school teachers) with high reality by superimposing virtual disaster situations (e.g., disturbed students) onto the real-time vision with AR (Augmented Reality) and a portable HMD (Head Mounted Display). (3) Gamification-based Digital Quiz System: This system aims at disaster education that motivates people to learn disasters through field work by introducing virtual currency-based gamification into digital quiz.
