VR Training Platform for Military Personnel

Screen short From VR View

VR training platform for military personnel to train them for radioactive equipment, source detection, and handling, and the environment.

The Virtual Reality (VR) training simulation focuses on training emergency responders to execute the Department of Homeland Security's first 100 Minutes Response Strategy, focusing on tactic 8, map and measure. In this program, trainees practice handling radiation equipment, surveying a radiation contamination area, and minimizing the threat to themselves and civilians. Our program uses an advanced unique simulation of radioactive particulate distribution and helps familiarize trainees with core concepts in radiation protection, including time, distance, and shielding.
