ABSTRACT
Lack of awareness of potential fire hazards is a leading factor of fire, especially when the child is alone. This paper presents a simulation training system to help children learn fire hazards knowledge and escape skills. The first part of this system is an application designed for theoretical study, which is featured by gesture interaction using Microsoft Kinect and large screen display environment. It includes three modules, namely animation, quizzes, and a 3D serious game. The second part is a simulated environment of fire escape route, which aims to test learning outcomes. Experimental results show the fire escape skills of 100 children are greatly improved.

VINCI '15: Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and InteractionA large number of tracking and gesture recognition algorithms and technologies have been developed in the field of human-computer interactions thanks to the introduction of cameras with depth sensors such as Microsoft's Kinect. Most of the techniques ...
Fire training and evaluation through the scientific visualization of fire phenomena
VRCAI '10: Proceedings of the 9th ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Virtual-Reality Continuum and its Applications in IndustryVirtual reality based fire training enables the provision of emergency response training through a computer-created fire environment. Because the accuracy of fire behavior can play a very important role in the training and evaluation process, we can ...
A virtual reality based fire training simulator with smoke hazard assessment capacity
Smoke is a leading cause of death in fire. To minimize the potential harm from the smoke hazards in the course of a fire, a rational virtual reality (VR)-based fire training simulator taking full account of the various aspects of smoke hazards has been ...
