Demonstrations
To me, the Loma Prieta Earthquake Demo was the most interesting because I could actually follow the steps and grasp what was going on. Many of the other demos, while visually more appealing perhaps, referred to steps that everyday people would not understand. However the idea behind the Loma Prieta Earthquake Demo of plotting the movement from 4 different 2D perspectives and them combining those to make a 3D visual, is one that I believe people unfamiliar with MATLAB could generally follow.
