Shaking tableShaking tableDevice for shaking structural models or building components with a wide range of simulated ground motions, including reproductions of recorded earthquake time-histories.
Using a shaking table, it is possible to interpret the dynamic behavior of test specimens of various dimensions.

Augmented reality: application to our shaking table
Augmented reality: application to our shaking table
Augmented Reality (AR) is a new, important experience that allows users to be in the real world with «augmented» features using cameras, compasses, GPS position etc. Unlike Virtual Reality, which creates a virtual image of the environment, using AR you are totally immersed in it.
Fields of application:Tourism, Outreach, Time-travel, Games, Educational…
