A virtual reality based fire training simulator with smoke hazard assessment capacity
Smoke is a leading cause of death in fire. To minimize the potential harm from the smoke hazards in the course of a fire, a rational virtual reality (VR)-based fire training simulator taking full account of the various aspects of smoke hazards has been developed and is described herein. In this simulator, a visualization technique based on volume rendering and fire dynamics data has been especi...
متن کاملEvaluation of Virtual Reality Snowplow Simulator Training
Each winter, Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) maintenance operators are responsible for plowing snow off roads in Iowa. Drivers typically work long shifts under treacherous conditions. In addition to properly navigating the vehicle, drivers are required to operate several plowing mechanisms simultaneously, such as plow controls and salt spreaders. However, there is little opportunit...
متن کاملVirtual reality-based simulator for training in regional anaesthesia.
BACKGROUND The safe performance of regional anaesthesia (RA) requires theoretical knowledge and good manual skills. Virtual reality (VR)-based simulators may offer trainees a safe environment to learn and practice different techniques. However, currently available VR simulators do not consider individual anatomy, which limits their use for realistic training. We have developed a VR-based simula...
متن کاملImportance of Smoke Toxicity in Fire Hazard Assessment
Smoke toxicity in a building fire should be watched carefully. In fact, people died in building fires were mainly due to smoke, not heat. Many tests were developed to determine the toxic potency data for different materials. Samples of surface lining materials commonly used in Hong Kong are tested to determine the toxic potency data of burning those selected materials. Smoke toxicity and the ef...
