[Case Study] Short-term loan of earthquake cushions for earthquake experience exhibit at the science fair.

Conveying "disaster prevention and reduction" to children in an easy-to-understand manner through realistic earthquake experiences.

**Overview** ■ Purpose: Disaster prevention education, disaster prevention learning exhibition, realistic earthquake experience ■ Category: Earthquake motion simulator ■ Related product: Earthquake Zabuton [VS-3203] ■ Scope of provision: Rental of a complete set of earthquake experience equipment **Background and Issues** The 3M Sendai City Science Museum needed an experiential exhibition for preschool to early elementary school children to think about "disaster prevention and mitigation." Additionally, it was required to be usable for about a month (during the summer vacation period), not require extensive construction, and allow for easy daily operation and management of the equipment. **Provided System** We provided a portable earthquake motion simulator, "Earthquake Zabuton Basic (Video: Live Action Version)," which realistically reproduces horizontal earthquake motion in two directions based on actual observed data, and "Earthquake Zabuton VR (Video: 3DCG Version)." **Effects After Implementation** ■ Functioned effectively as an experiential exhibition conveying the importance of "disaster prevention and mitigation" ■ Appreciated as a valuable opportunity for children who have never experienced an earthquake to have an earthquake experience
