Can stand in the eye of the storm?

Of course, new technology cannot allow people to face natural disasters but face the 3-dimensional environment that simulates natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tsunamis and tornadoes.

Wearing touch-sensitive glasses, Professor Tetsuya Sato entered the small room in Yokohama near Tokyo, where the computer projected data on disaster forms in 3D images throughout the room. When they touched the image of the strong storm, they could see images of clouds swirling around them.

Professor Sato, chair of the project at Japan's Earth Science and Technology Agency, said: 'So far, Earth simulation models have only been used to create and store digital data. We cannot fully understand the unusual phenomena of nature if we only look at those numbers. Computer processing data and a system that converts that data to human senses can be felt as real. '

In addition to natural disaster models, the system can also simulate scenes deep within the Earth's axis, thereby helping meteorological experts improve their ability to predict changes in the earth.
