Game-Based Virtual Environments for Homeland Security Applications

This overview explores game-based virtual worlds developed since 2007, targeting homeland security applications. Key projects include FabLab, a simulator for training technicians in handling toxic materials, showcasing the use of modified commercial games for low-cost solutions. CyberWaterNet is proposed for monitoring water quality using a decentralized sensor network to detect threats. Additionally, a virtual simulator aims to engage citizens as first responders in crises, promoting community involvement in emergency management. These initiatives demonstrate innovative solutions for training and preparedness in security-related contexts.

  2. Overview • We have been investigating and developing game-based virtual worlds with possible homeland security applications since 2007. • Examples: • FabLab: A virtual world simulator for training technicians working in semiconductor or nanotechnology fabrication facilities in diagnosing spills and related conditions that involve benign/toxic materials • Demonstrates potential to develop and deploy low-cost simulators using modified commercial games and PC technologies • CyberWaterNet: A proposed virtual world environment for water scientists, water quality engineers and technicians, and public users (e.g., school kids) to monitor, analyze, and assess regional water quality • Relies on large, decentralized, multi-mode sensor network across water sources (including waste water) and water processing facilities in a regional watershed area • Monitoring and analyzing water quality for possible threats like pathogens, nano-particles, and pharmaceuticals • Citizens as First Responders: A proposed virtual world simulator and social networking portal to train and integrate public participants as effective non-professional responders to emerging incidents/crisis.
