Seismic belt distribution

The exhibits showcase the distribution of major earthquake fault zones in China and the relevant information of each fault zone to visitors through electronic sand table maps and touch screen multimedia selection.

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.
