Virtual reality used in emergency response training
No training can fully prepare emergency responders for a disaster or mass shooting, but coaching, hands-on training and virtual reality experiences can improve responses.
That was the goal of classes and training in a first-ever public safety forum at Shenandoah University on. The forum was attended by area firefighters, paramedics, police and other officials. It was run by the university’s newly formed Emergency Preparedness and Instruction Center (EPIC) in conjunction with the Shenandoah Center for Immersive Learning.
