STUDIES ON THE PRACTICAL TRAINING OF INTERVENTION AND RESCUE PERSONNEL IN TOXIC / EXPLOSIVE / FLAMMABLE ENVIRONMENTS USING VIRTUAL REALITY
Abstract
In recent years, virtual reality developers have managed to create an artificial environment that can simulate reality so that the user has the impression of an almost real physical presence in the virtual world. By overlapping and synchronizing projected images with spatial sounds and even with forces that interact with the user, the user is detached from the real environment and an all-encompassing involvement in the virtual world occurs. Virtual reality is frequently present in aviation, medicine, military training and other top fields. Advantages of using a virtual environment are obvious for areas where inexperience can cause loss of life and material loss. Although participants are immersed in the virtual environment scenario, errors produced allow an assessment of mistakes made and their correction, the experience gained being then used in the realworld professional activity. Through experiencing the virtual environment, fear of various dangers can be overcome, dangers that cannot be simulated in reality can easily be simulated, so that objectives of training can be met. The aim of the paper is to provide rescuers with certain training scenarios which create opportunities to interact with elements of the virtual space to fulfil the purpose of training.
