The Virtual Wave Research Lab is an applet created to give users the ability to explore a virtual recreation of the Hinsdale Wave Research Lab at Oregon State University. The applet can be accessed by any Java-capable web browser that has the Java3D plugin. The VWRL was created through funding from the National Science Foundation as part of the George E. Brown Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (NEES) project.
