Fire extinguishing is dangerous by nature, so training is always associated with risks and high costs. It is still difficult to organize it correctly. You can’t just set fire to the building and send an unskilled command to extinguish it. Modeling —a worthy alternative, but he lacks realism. For a more accurate and easy training of firefighters, a new Imate of virtual reality “Flaim Trainer” was developed. It consists of a HTC Vive VR headset, a tactile device and a vest that monitors the life indicators of the user.
The system allows you to monitor the position and movement of objects and copy them to the virtual world. After installing the sensors on the Brandspoit, firefighters can extinguish virtual fires using real equipment. Window to this virtual world —This is the HTC Vive headset with a set of respiratory devices for realism. The tactile feedback system in the hose imitates the force of water flow. Protective clothing has the heating bags built into it, which heat up when the user is faced with virtual fire.
In the new version, the system allows you to operate with information arrays. The wipes with the gandikap measures the results of the user electrocardiogram and writes this data in the database. They can be stored locally or in the cloud. This helps instructors track the level of trainee training.
