VR Simulations in Emergency
It is overly complicated to organize training on the ground whenever hazard situations are envisaged. The first problem is having access to tools, appliances and instruments the second one is the site itself: normally we are talking about operational sites (an airport, a power plant, an oil rig) where overlapping a training session to normal operations can be impossible or extremely complicated.
Costs both for personnel and for the logistics are not negligible. UTOPIA latest generations VR and laser scanning offer a combination bringing the simulation to a today incomparable level, solving many of the problematics connected to reality, where it is possible recreate situations and instruments otherwise hardly available.
So far UTOPIA system for simulation has been utilized by fire brigade squads.
