We have developed an interactive display system operated by touch panel as one of the best ways to reach out the visitors by showing the outcomes of the Earthquake Research Institute (ERI). In this paper, we report some of the contents and the benefits of the interactive display. Research results are summarized as movies or high resolution graphics which we call “rich-contents”. We provide 65 and 45 inch touch panels connected to PCs which run Vizlmpress envision software developed by SGI, Japan. The rich-contents consist of three parts: 1) Introduction of Earthquakes and Volcanoes, 2) Outline of ERI, and 3) Research Highlights. Part 1 provides an animation of asperity, historical earthquake prints (Namazu-e) and disaster pictures, photos from "The Great Earthquake in Japan 1891" taken by J. Milne and W.K. Burton, and a high resolution map of the world seismicity. Part 2 includes a general description and history of ERI, photos of researchers, and ERI booklets such as brochure, annual reports or newsletters. Part 3 presents videos of observation sceneries from the top of the active volcanoes or from the cruise for settling ocean bottom seismometers. Computer simulations of strong ground motions, Tsunamis, mantle convection, and seismic shaking of builidngs are also included. One of the most enjoyable contents is the 3-dimensional seismicity map around Japan, from which you can rotate Japan and get to know how the oceanic plates subduct beneath Japan. This system was demonstrated at the exhibition booths of the Japan Geoscience Union mettings in 2007 and 2008, and Cities on Volcanoes 5 conference in 2007, and got the attention of visitors including high school students. The key factors of this captivation, in addition to the attractive and dynamic research results themselves, may be brought from 1) the quick response of the touch panel as well as the smooth zoom-in and zoom-out, and 2) a close distance between the audience and the presenter so that the presenter can be viewed as a part of the screen.
