Abstract:
Everyday life brings development and creation of new technologies that are to be implemented and introduced to practice appropriately. The enforcement of electric mobility is one of such technologies. In the case of developing an emergency, e.g. a car accident, an appropriate reaction of the emergency units and their preparedness for individual activities during action is necessary. The project FighARs whose result will be the preparation of the firefighters for the emergency activities and technical aid during an accident through augmented reality is dealing with this area. The technological developments allow the firefighters to immerse in more realistic training environments by using visual aids, such as Augmented Reality or Smart Glasses. This provides guidance and training for developing reasonable response strategies for several emergency situations. The preparation and training of the emergency units need to define the basic scenario where the participants acquire the skills and practical experience for making decisions during the intervention. This article describes the preparation of this scenario for training through the Augmented Reality that will be combined with the e-learning modules for firefighters.
