seismic risk, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, non-structural vulnerabilityAbstract
We are currently witnessing a digital revolution in which students, from an early age, are in constant contact with devices and technologies in their daily activities. This digital transformation in education not only changes what we learn, but also how we learn it, highlighting the need for new educational approaches. In this context, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational applications helps enhance students’ learning competencies. The province of San Juan is located in the area of highest seismic hazard in Argentina, according to the zoning of the National Institute of Seismic Prevention (INPRES), and has historically been affected by numerous earthquakes, resulting in significant human and material losses. While the development of seismic-resistant regulations has considerably reduced structural risk, non-structural seismic risk remains a critical issue that can cause substantial material damage and endanger lives. This article presents the development of an educational application that addresses the topic of non-structural seismic risk through Augmented Reality, integrating AI tools to provide information to users via an embedded chatbot. The main objective of this innovation is to raise awareness and improve preparedness in the event of an earthquake, contributing to architectural education through new forms of immersive learning
