Pumpers for Meta Quest

Our virtual reality training app for pumper operations (Pumpers) can significantly enhance the training experience for firefighters, leading to improved performance and safety when responding to real-world emergencies.

Benefits

Safety: Provides a risk-free environment where firefighters can practice pumper operations without the dangers of real-life emergencies.
Realistic Scenarios: Firefighters can experience 360-degree views and accurate 3D representations of various scenarios, enhancing their situational awareness and decision-making skills.
Cost-Effectiveness: More cost-effective than traditional training methods, as it reduces the need for physical resources and can be conducted without the operational costs of actual equipment.
On-Demand Training: Firefighters can access training anytime and anywhere, allowing for flexible scheduling and repeated practice without the constraints of coordinating with live training events.
Skill Development: Firefighters develop practical skills, learn to cope with stress, and practice using equipment in a safe environment, which can translate to more effective responses in real situations.
Engagement and Retention: The immersive nature of our app will lead to higher engagement and better retention of the training material, as firefighters can actively participate in the training process.
Live Casting: Cast your experience live to any Smartphone, PC/Mac or a Chromecast device for sharing with your audience. Casting is also supported to your Facebook profile or group.

Simulation Incorporates the Following Concepts

Pump Operations: Principles of water, hose nozzles and flow rates, simulates pressure, flow and ground hydraulics based on theory. Simulation of operating the fire pump and static water supply sources.

Water Supply: Principles of water supply for fire fighting including the use of hydrants and drafting operations

Line Operations: Principles of line operations for fire fighting including the selection of hose, the use of line appliances and nozzles and the deployment of lines
