VR Fire Trainer

The new generation of fire training

With virtual reality (VR) fire training companies can operate more sustainable and efficient than ever before. Employees and customers are put in a customised, interactive learning environment where they can be trained interactively, just like in the real world – and even far beyond.
 
Meanwhile, VR training has found its way into many areas, in order to offer realistic training in a VR simulation independent of time and location, especially if training is to be carried out on machines or in scenarios that are not, or at least not continuously, available.
 
Apart from being absolutely safe, VR fire training has the advantage of being more cost-efficient and scalable. Compared to traditional fire training, they offer an enhanced learning experience.
 
There is no longer a need to work with real fires to simulate real situations, when this can be replicated better and more safely in the virtual world. VR fire training is also perfect for training in city centres or urban environments, with significantly less environmental impact.

Learning through experiencing – more flexible than ever

Just open the sturdy case, put on the headset and you start your training session in the virtual world right away. No need for computers or cables. It’s truly a mobile training solution!

There is no longer a need to use real fires or a fully operating fire extinguisher to emulate real-world scenarios when it’s done better virtually. With the GLORIA VR Fire Trainer, anyone in the company can be trained using only a VR headset and a dummy fire extinguisher. As our product solution does not rely on a computer, you can train anywhere, at any time.

The participant is guided through realistic exercises that simulate different fire scenarios in different rooms. One moment you are in an open-plan office where a stack of boxes is on fire, and the next you are in the kitchen facing a oil fire.

The user now has to select the appropriate fire extinguisher with the appropriate extinguishing agent and start the extinguishing process.
Depending on the quality of the extinguishing process, there may be significant smoke development, visibility is lost and the extinguishing attempt fails, at least in the virtual world.

How do trainers and instructors benefit?

The trainer or instructor, but also the other participants, can follow and experience the extinguishing process via „screensharing“.

In addition, the software provides the trainer and the participant with a success evaluation at the end of each session. Did the particpant choose the appropriate extinguishing agent and was the extinguisher used correctly? Was the extinguishing attempt successful? These and other success evaluations are provided by the training and can be analysed in detail.

Let your creativity flow in fire safety training with the ‘My Combo’ tool

This tool allows you to create your own customised training combinations in the field of fire safety! Design training units that are tailored
precisely to your specific requirements.

Whether for emergencies in an industrial environment, in the private sphere or in a very specific setting – this feature allows you to customise every detail of your training.

Imagine a training scenario that focuses exclusively on industrial fires, where your team practises using the right fire extinguishers on fires involving solid materials or lithium batteries. Or train medical staff in a realistic setting where precision and quick action
are crucial – and create scenarios that simulate real challenges from everyday medical practice.
