Hoping to convey the fear and danger of tsunami to future
generations, researchers from the University of Tokyo and Tohoku University are
utilizing cutting-edge technologies to create three-dimensional images of
debris from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
The research groups are attempting to immortalize the
“structural debris from the 2011 disaster,” such as municipal government
facilities and school buildings that were damaged by the tsunami caused by the
Great East Japan Earthquake, by rendering 3-D images.
