The team aims to develop a comprehensive gamified VR platform by creating a smart simulation for emergency preparedness, adaptable to various scenarios.

Conventional training methods, such as drills, tabletop exercises, functional exercises, and full-scale exercises, often do not reflect the fast-moving realities of emergencies, where variables include the environment, situation, and individual responses.

The team will develop a novel framework that integrates key components of emergency preparedness into a single modular architecture.

The platform will simulate a generic framework offering single or multi-player modes, along with self-learning computer-generated participants, using Virtual Reality to provide an immersive experience.
