“…The water jet is simulated and displayed in the virtual reality goggles [14]. A very similar approach to our work is a system that guides users out of the building using mixed reality [21]. The developed building evacuation system enables users to view the escape plan on their smartphone, tablet, or HoloLens.…”

Intelligent buildings offer a great opportunity to evacuate people more efficiently and safely by using dynamic evacuation guidance systems in comparison to static escape route signs. Static systems are unable to react to temporary events; their signs might guide the occupants directly to the hazard in the worst case. A dynamic system on the other hand determines the hazard position and calculates and displays an alternative escape route to avoiding the hazard position. In this work, we present a detailed study of current research approaches and introduce two algorithms developed for building evacuation. The first algorithm demonstrates the static evacuation and leads directly to the nearest exit. The second algorithm reacts dynamically to temporary events such as fire. A comparison of these algorithms shows that the dynamic system is more efficient. In order to test the dynamic approach in a real environment, a device to display the evacuation route is required. We propose a novel interactive evacuation approach using mixed reality glasses (HoloLens) for user guidance. A user study shows the advantages of the HoloLens and verifies our findings from the simulation in a real environment.

“…Sharma et al [13][14][15] have also presented data visualization for location based navigation in multilevel spaces by generating augmented reality instructional visualizations with contextualized communication of evacuation plans. HoloLens has also been used for creating situational awareness in indoor evacuation environments [16][17][18].…”

Visualization explores quantitative content of data with human intuition and plays an integral part in the data mining process. When the data is big there are different analysis methods and approaches used to find inherent patterns and relationships. However, sometimes there is a need to incorporate human in loop approach to find new patterns and relationships. Immersive virtual reality (VR) offers a human centric approach to visualize data by discovering new relationships that an existing algorithm cannot provide. This paper demonstrates the data visualization tool to visualize Baltimore crime data in immersive environment and non-immersive environment. This paper focuses on VR visualization tool design, development, and usability assessment. A pilot user study was conducted for the VR visualization tool based on the system usability scale. The study results show that the crime data visualization tool is relatively easy to use, and that the application can be considered as a storyteller with removing the noise from the data and highlighting the usefulness of the information.

“…In the study of Tsai and Yau [85], AR technologies, route planning, and three-dimensional graphics technologies were integrated to provide evacuation route guidance by giving virtual indicators on the escape route in the context of a radioactive accident. An AR-based building fire evacuation system was developed by Sharma S et al [86]. The system applied a Microsoft HoloLens augmented/mixed reality device to provide a visual representation of a building in 3D space and allowed the occupants to see where exits were in the building.…”

Complex and tall buildings have been constructed in many cities recently. Fire safety should be a major concern of building designers, engineers, and governments. Previous fire experience has made us understand the importance of acquiring fire-ground information to facilitate firefighting operations, evacuation processes, rescues, etc. Recently, the rapid advancement in Information Technology, Data Analytics, and other detection and monitoring systems has provided the basis for fire safety researchers to re-think fire safety strategies in the built environment. Amongst all fire safety studies, evacuation in tall buildings, including elevator evacuations, has attracted much attention. IoT-aided building fire evacuation is a new concept of the building evacuation mode, which improves the building evacuation process by making decisions of escape based on the real-time fire-ground information, such as the fire environment and occupant situations. Focusing on IoT applications in building fire evacuation, this paper explores the advantages and insufficiencies of current smart building fire evacuation systems. A conceptual design of an IoT-aided building fire evacuation control system is described. The system is introduced in the sequence of information needs, information sources and data transmission, and potential services and applications. Finally, new insights into promising 5G technologies for future building fire evacuations are discussed.
