Activity Narrative

At the 2007 annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (http://www.aaas.org/), the remote telepresence and teleoperation features of the experimental structure at Garner Valley were demonstrated to scientists attending the meeting in San Francisco, through an interactive display at the National Science Foundation booth in the exhibition area. Frank Vernon of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP http://www.igpp.ucsd.edu/) remotely activated the 80kg shaker mounted to the experimental structure and displayed waveforms recorded by sensors located on and around the structure.
