These tragic incidents not only resulted in the loss of innocent lives but were also immensely challenging for emergency response teams.

Key Points: 
  • These tragic incidents not only resulted in the loss of innocent lives but were also immensely challenging for emergency response teams.
  • Each of these events required coordination between several different emergency services: the police, fire services and medical teams.
  • Therefore, decision making by emergency response teams is a high stakes game that can influence the outcomes of different crises.
  • We have been part of a team from the universities of Portsmouth and Winchester investigating how virtual reality (VR) can help prepare responders for these scenarios.

VR and decision making

    • This makes it an invaluable tool for studying decision making under high stress.
    • For emergency responders, there are many benefits to working with VR.
    • Firstly, it can act as a training simulator, allowing first responders to practice critical decision making during a crisis scenario played out in a simulated environment and with a VR headset.
    • By harnessing 360-degree cameras to create immersive simulations based around simulated terrorist events, desktop VR can closely mirror real world emergency scenarios.

Outperforming older methods

    • They show that desktop VR can be a particularly valuable tool in training.
    • For example, VR-based training, especially the interactive kind that responds to a user’s input, has been shown to outperform traditional video-based training methods.
    • This opens up possibilities for the wider adoption of VR in emergency response training, making it more accessible for agencies and organisations with different budgets.
