“…Evacuation training is regarded as a part of long-term disaster education in the Mitigation phase and a practical activity in the Preparedness phase. To maximize the benefits of evacuation training, Mitsuhara et al proposed a comprehensive model of disaster education, including evacuation training [23]. The proposed model "GLI" consists of three layers: Global, Local, and Individual.…”

“…Evacuation training, regarded as simulated disaster experiences, can be compatible with Kolb's experimental learning theory, which consists of four cyclic stages: concrete experience (CE), reflective observation (RO), abstract conceptualization (AC), and active experimentation (AE) [28]. Based on this theory, we proposed an evacuation-training model to optimize the training effects [23]. This model assumes that through the Global and Local Layers, participants have acquired basic knowledge of a target disaster and known predicted damage and shelter locations in a target local community.…”

“…The game element was scenario-based multi-ending showing a customized storyline according to the participant's responses to a single-choice question. This game was experimentally extended to present AR materials that superimposed three-dimensional computer graphics expressing disaster situations (e.g., fire and debris) onto the real-time vision from the smartphone's rear camera [23][24][25]. The previous versions of the developed game [21][22][23][24][25] are consistently scenario-based and do not include completely unified geo-fencing methods (i.e., the trigger of digital material presentation) between indoor and outdoor evacuation training.…”

Participation in evacuation training can aid survival in the event of an unpredictable disaster, such as an earthquake. However, conventional evacuation training is not well designed for provoking critical thinking in participants regarding the processes involved in a successful evacuation. To realize thought-provoking evacuation training, we developed a location-based game that presents digital materials that express disaster situations corresponding to locations or times preset in a scenario and providing scenario-based multi-ending as the game element. The developed game motivates participants to take decisions by providing high situational and audiovisual realism. In addition, the game encourages the participants to think objectively about the evacuation process by working together with a reflection-support system. We practiced thought-provoking evacuation training with fifth-grade students, focusing on tsunami evacuation and lifesaving-related moral dilemmas. In this practice, we observed that the participants took decisions as if they were dealing with actual disaster situations and objectively thought about the evacuation process by reflecting on their decisions. Meanwhile, we found that lifesaving-related moral dilemmas are difficult to address in evacuation training.

“…The outdoor navigation AR applications proposed by Yau (2012, 2013) aims at providing real-time augmented information about radioactive threats and the location of the available shelters in case of nuclear accidents. Mitsuhara et al, (2019) developed another AR application to prompt speedy evacuation by and enhancing the reality with human holograms indicating the direction to go.…”

Building evacuation training systems and training employees in an organization have a vital role in emergency cases in which people need to know what to do exactly. In every building, procedures, rules, and actions are attractively shown on the walls, but most of the people living in that building are not aware of these procedures and do not have any experience what to do in these dangerous situations. In order to be able to apply these procedures properly in an emergency situation, community members should be trained with the state-of-the-art equipment and technologies, but to do so, up-front investment and development of such a system are necessary. In this study, augmented reality (AR) technology was applied to realize a game-based evacuation training system that implements gamification practices. The architectural plans of a university were used to model the floors and the relevant environment. Employees are trained to learn how to reach the nearest exit location in the event of a fire or earthquake, and also, the system provides the shortest path for the evacuation. In addition to these features, our training game has educational animations about the fire, chemical attack, and earthquake events. A mobile application was implemented to train employees working in the building and inform them to know how to escape in an emergency situation. The technology acceptance model and the related questionnaire form were applied, and the response of 36 participants was analyzed. It was demonstrated that AR and relevant tools provide a flexible environment to develop evacuation systems in a university, our mobile application enabled participants to be trained in a realistic environment, and trainees were highly satisfied with the system. Educational animations were also another benefit for the trainees.
