“…In aspect of visualization technology, the fire event expression requires support for 3D dynamic visualization and 2D slice visualization. At present, fire event visualization research has made much progress, such as visualization based on particles (Cha, 2012). NIST also developed a visualization software Smokeview (Forney, 2004) , which can used to display the output of FDS and CFAST simulation.…”

ABS TRACT:Building fire is a risky activity that can lead to disaster and massive destruction. The management and disposal of building fire has always attracted much interest from researchers. Integrated Virtual Geographic Environment (VGE) is a good choice for building fire safety management and emergency decisions, in which a more real and rich fire process can be computed and obtained dynamically, and the results of fire simulations and analyses can be much more accurate as well. To modelling building fire scene with VGE, the application requirements and modelling objective of building fire scene were analysed in this paper. Then, the four core elements of modelling building fire scene (the building space environment, the fire event, the indoor Fire Extinguishing System (FES) and the indoor crowd) were implemented, and the relationship between the elements was discussed also. Finally, with the theory and framework of VGE, the technology of building fire scene system with VGE was designed within the data environment, the model environment, the expression environment, and the collaborative environment as well. The functions and key techniques in each environment are also analysed, which may provide a reference for further development and other research on VGE.

“…However, there is no temperature control of the firefighting training clothes in this system, so participants is impressed by the effect of the visual and auditory system while receiving no temperature feedback from the virtual fire scene. Moohyun Cha's [8] team has combined the virtual firefighting training system with fire dynamics data which makes effect of the virtual system much more real whether in visual or auditory sense. But the same defect exits here is that it does not offer participants the temperature feedback as well.…”

Abstract. This paper has described a firefighting training clothes based on embedded wireless sensors which provides the wearer with multi-mode human-computer interaction. The whole software system is made up of four single modules: temperature data acquisition module, motion data acquisition module, data communication module, temperature control module. When wearer moves in the real world, the accelerometer and the gyro can measure the wearer's movement information so that the virtual character in the virtual scene walks the same path as the real one. Command will be sent to the heating and cooling modules in order to adjust the temperature of the firefighting training clothes while the virtual character is close to or away from the fire source. We designed experiments to test the temperature control function of firefighting training clothes in certain circumstance. The results showed that the wearer could tell the temperature change when the virtual character is close to or away from the fire source. In the future, we plan to provide the wearer with immersive interactive experience via virtual reality helmet so that the wearer can be fully integrated into the virtual scene.

“…In education and training, virtual reality simulators such as 54 flight [13], driving [14], fire escape [15] are used to train the user's skills and enhance learning 55 effectiveness. In the field of urban design and planning, the impact of the urban environment upon 56 pedestrian decision-making behavior [16], pre-occupancy assessment [17], and guidance layout [18] 57 also need the support of observational data about users' spatiotemporal behaviors, which could be 58 easily acquired in the virtual environment.…”

“…With trajectories, researchers can identify and analyze pedestrian 62 behavioral patterns and the characteristics of spatial-temporal motion [15,16] [21,22]. The second has 63 been to use a classic social force model [23,24] and field model [25,26] to model, simulate and analyze 64 pedestrian behavior in specific situations [27,28].…”
