Simulation-based virtual reality training for firefighters

Simulation-based training is used to improve learners’ skills and enhance their knowledge. Recently, virtual reality technology has been exploited in simulation mainly for purposes, enable learning while performing simulated activities that are dangerous or even impossible be the real world. In this context, we present a simulation-based firefighter an earthquake scenario developed collaboration with national Italian firefighters rescue units (Italian “Istituto Superiore Antincendi”). The proposed model based on solution foresees novel interaction game specifically first-responders. simulator environment head-mounted display where learner interacts objects performs specific tasks. performed test show use of can effectiveness training. Indeed, trainees better perception scene which reflected faster response situation. system help by providing adequate information how deal risks.
