Development of a VR Flood Situation Experience System

摘要

In recent Japan, flood disaster is frequently caused by typhoons and torrential rain. However, people’s awareness of flooddisaster is not high, and low evacuation rates are in question. Since existing research and contents only display the waterdepth at flooding, it is difficult to fully tell the danger of flood damage. In this research, we aim to develop a system thatcan tell the risk of flood disaster through the experience of walking on a flooded road using virtual reality (VR).
