GLORIA honoured with DIGITAL PILOT 23
On 23 August 2020, GLORIA GmbH was awarded the DIGITAL PILOT 23 by the Gesellschaft für Wirtschaftsförderung im Kreis Warendorf mbH (gfw). This prestigious award was presented for the first time this year and honours companies that play a pioneering role in the region through their progressive use of digital technologies, innovative business models and groundbreaking processes.
The award winners were selected by an independent and expert jury, which carefully analysed and evaluated the submitted projects.
GLORIA is extremely pleased to have received the DIGITAL PILOT 23 in the ‘Digital Business Models, Products and Services’ category for its VR Fire Trainer. This pioneering product solution not only attracted the attention of the jury, but also impressed the industry.
The VR Fire Trainer enables a new type of fire extinguisher training in the virtual world. By using virtual reality glasses (VR headset) and a dummy fire extinguisher, training participants enter various virtual environments and are guided through realistic exercises that simulate various fire scenarios.
