- TRACENET: a VR framework to support online collaborative training activitiesPublication . Rigon, Simone; Perda, Giulio; Farella, Elisa Mariarosaria; Battisti, Roberto; Remondino, Fabio; Reis, Vitor; Marchesi, Silvia; Vaccari, Paolo; Wran-Schumer, DavidThe article introduces the VR framework and the preliminary outcomes of the ongoing European TRACENET project, an interdisciplinary and collaborative initiative to support and enhance Civil Protection training activities through 3D geospatial data and VR solutions. The VR framework is a virtual and collaborative multi-player environment for manifold and diverse hazard simulations which allows remote users to see the outcomes of their intervention decisions. The VR framework is a complementary solution to traditional training activities, enabling cost reduction of full-scale on-site exercises - included in so-called EU MODEX activities. The framework is based on the Unreal rendering engine and is primarily dedicated to situation assessment, intervention planning and decision making.
