摘要
Training law enforcement officers and emergency responders requires significant investment in terms of time, financial resources, logistics, organization, and personnel reallocation. In this paper, we introduce a physically immersive platform based on Virtual Reality for training enforcement and emergency personnel, and for evaluating physical and psychological stress. The proposed system is co-designed with end users to maximize the performance and outcome of training. Moreover, the platform includes features for accelerating the development of innovative technologies, equipment, and user interfaces, by integrating the knowledge and experience of law enforcement officers and emergency responders into virtual/augmented reality design simulations.
