During the conference, guests were introduced to the SAFAR project and the virtual reality (XR) training scenarios developed by the staff of the Firefighters’ School. These scenarios are designed to develop practical skills and simulate a variety of professional situations.
Five different training scenarios were presented:
- Use of an aerial ladder truck;
- Analysis of negotiations with a person contemplating suicide;
- Evacuation mission;
- Use of a defibrillator;
- Preparing the “TOHATSU V20FS” portable water pump for operation.
Each guest had the opportunity to try out all the presented XR training scenarios, ask questions, take part in discussions and share insights into the application of innovative technologies in training.
The conference provided an opportunity to showcase the training tools being developed, exchange experience and discuss the potential of XR technologies in vocational training.
The use of innovative technologies enables the creation of interactive learning scenarios, helps develop decision-making skills and strengthens preparedness for a wide range of real-life situations.
