A true three-dimensional physical simulation system for the influence of fault movement on tunnel operation and a test method, including a fault movement rack system, a fault movement jacking system, and a loading and movement control system. The fault movement rack system accommodates a movement model and serves as a loading reaction device. The fault movement jacking system implements fault movement and ensures that the model is not twisted and overturned in a fault movement process. The loading and movement control system performs initial ground stress loading on the model and controls the fault movement jacking system to implement fault movement of the model. Fault movement of a deep stratum under a complex high ground stress condition can be simulated, the influence of underground fault movement on safe and stable operation of a deep tunnel is simulated, and a powerful technical support is provided for safe construction of deep engineering.

A playback device may be communicatively connected to a network device at a demonstration location. After connecting to the network device, the playback device may receive from the network device, a message indicating media content for playback by the playback device. In response to receiving the message, the playback device may play the media content, where playing the media content comprises modifying a default configuration of a demonstration mode. After receiving the message, the playback device may be disconnected from the network device. After disconnecting from the network device, the playback device may return to the default configuration of the demonstration mode.

A method and system of measuring a domain specific spatial ability required in the field of architecture or interior design are disclosed.

In the method, in order to measure a spatial ability of a user, one or more of a mental rotation measurement and a spatial visualization measurement for the user is first performed. Then, the spatial ability for the user is evaluated according to a result of performing one or more measurements. Then, the evaluated result is provided to the user as a domain specific spatial ability required in the field of architecture or interior design. Here, the mental rotation measurement is performed by measuring a rotation state estimation ability for a 3D figure, and the spatial visualization measurement is performed by measuring ability of translating 3D spatial information into 2D spatial information and an ability of translating a 2D spatial information into a 3D spatial information.
