The LOCAST Project @locastproject.bsky.social · 28/05/2026One of the use cases in the LOCAST project is a tall timber building that vibrates at nearly 3 Hz. We're collecting detailed data on how easily people feel this, what effects it might have (and why), and what we can do about it 0103
The LOCAST Project @locastproject.bsky.social · 28/05/2026Here's our VSimulator, seen from outside, replaying actual motion recorded from a tall skyscraper in another part of the world. Being inside the chamber when it's moving this much is quite an experience - yet realistic 041
The LOCAST Project @locastproject.bsky.social · 27/05/2026A quick photo of the VSimulators test facility in Bath, where we're doing the LOCAST testing. We can swing this entire chamber to simulate real motion recorded in tall buildings around the world 0121
The LOCAST Project @locastproject.bsky.social · 20/03/2025LOCAST just held its formal kickoff meeting, where we discussed our plans with external project advisors Now we start to set up the testing. The goal is to remove millions, or even billions, of tonnes of climate emissions from global construction by better understanding the people in the buildings 041
