First Responders’ Simulation and Training (FIRST) Center • Pacific Northwest Hub in Eon’s HDC Network • Part of a new WSU initiative in Homeland Security • R&D focus on: • Realistic physical behavior of virtual objects • Realistic interactions between virtual objects and real people • Distributed collaborative simulation and training • Coordination of multiple people in virtual environments • Integration of data and capabilities of dissimilar software technologies • Data transfer and data transformation
Potential HDC Applications • Training • Simulation (better training in simulated environments?) • Integration of various simulation and training software systems • Handling of hazardous materials • Defusing/assembling/dis-assembling devices • Safety procedures in nuclear and chemical facilities • Collaboration between first responders • Real-time access to experts from remote sites to assist in dealing with emergencies • Simulation and prediction of events and human responses
