A Virtual

2016 - 2017 Games |
|
The purpose of the simulation in “A Virtual Disaster” is to show how virtual reality can be used to teach search and rescue training to first responders. Having well-trained search and rescue personnel is important, especially during times of disaster, as they keep us safe. However, training can be difficult, as it mostly relies on live drills and handbooks, training methods that are either too costly or not comprehensive enough. With virtual reality, however, training becomes both comprehensive and cost-effective. As technology improves, immersive virtual reality can be used to properly educate first responders.
