Nathan Menzies | Training Officer, Aviation Rescue Fire Fighters (ARFFS)
In this video, 360ed.tv chats with Nathan Smith and Nathan Menzies from Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting Service (ARFFS), in Melbourne, Australia about immersive learning development and simulation-based technology to deliver training to firefighters.
They discuss the immersive learning strategy of the training academy and how VR is being used to introduce environmental hazards and risks, leveraging theoretical knowledge from trainees and giving them the chance to apply it practically and safely.
With firefighters facing new challenges owing to emerging technologies including solar panels, electric vehicles and hydrogen, they explain how VR headsets provide an immersive, more effective and safer method of exposure and training for these hazards and walk us through specific use cases by ARFFS.
How is the ARFFS creating realistic and impactful simulations that replicate the challenges and scenarios faced by aviation firefighters? Watch the video to learn more.
