The simulator was installed by the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, part of a tour across the state for Earthquake Preparedness Month.

The simulator gives people the opportunity to experience what it would feel like to be in an earthquake ranging in size from magnitude-3.0 to magnitude-7.0. The goal is to give people who may have never experienced a strong earthquake the chance to do so, in order to realize they need to be prepared.
