Abstract

SeismoSpin is a novel interactive instrument that uses a Disc-Jockey-mixer analogy to give seismologists a quick and powerful way to explore Northern California earthquake data. The custom-built interface and display maps earthquake data to responsive, user-determined windows of time and geographical areas. Testers (seismologists) found that SeismoSpin provided a greater control and understanding of the dataset than current tools.
