Combining Augmented and Virtual Reality Experiences for Immersive Fire Drills
Ho-San Kang, Jong-won Lee, Soo-Mi Choi · 2022
We propose an application that combines the benefits of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) experiences for realistic and effective fire response training. Our analysis of recent literature reveals that there are different advantages to AR versus VR applications, and combining these experiences can generate new compound benefits in fire drills. In this study, a high-level training environment is automatically generated using three-dimensional object recognition technology, and the physical training tools are linked to the VR environment to improve immersion and training effectiveness. The combined advanced AR and VR experience demonstrates the potential use of this method in various industries.
