Diseño e implementación de un sistema interactivo digital y físico para educar a la población de Riobamba sobre riesgos eminentes

Abstract

The creation of an Interactive Physical and Digital System that allows educating the population of the city of Riobamba about the eminent risks is the objective of the present titling project. Different educational digital teaching tools were used such as; the elaboration of a physical model with illustrations of vectors engraved with laser and electronic elements that allow to give the visual information on the composition of building risk with respect to the Historical Center and a digital model, for which the software Architectures: 3DMax and Blender were used for the creation of three-dimensional graphics, allowing the simulation on the facts that hypothetically occur in an earthquake event. Applications of Virtual Reality (VR) and Increasing Reality (IR) were made, for which the Unity software was used. Virtual Reality allows users to observe a collapsed city after a risk situation and through Increasing Reality; users can find accurate information about the damages of a risk situation. The validation of the present work was carried out after having been presented in different events such as Habitat III and la Quinta Macaji from which the favorable acceptance of the users who considered de Interactive Physical and Digital System as an effective learning model. It was concluded that the Digital Interactive Physical System generates encouraging results regarding the assimilation of knowledge about the risk situation of Riobamba. Non-prolonged use of the virtual reality tool is recommended due to the negative effects it can cause on the human being.
