FirstModulAR: Designing and Integrating Augmented Reality User Interface Modules for First Responders

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 10:10:52 -0500

As technology advances, the information available for first responders also grows. Presenting every single data point available would lead to an overload of information. Instead, this research will collaborate with public safety officers to build an augmented reality platform to display the most pertinent information. This will increase performance by providing more information to make informed decisions in field operations.

FirstModulAR is a public safety Augmented Reality (AR) design project to accelerate the adoption of AR by first responders. Our overall goal is to identify, based on existing data as well as systematic collaboration with first responders, where AR can most benefit public safety.

Conference Paper

Research has found a time compression effect related to virtual reality. Just like how we feel like time passes quicker when we are on the computer, time feels quicker in VR. Our motivation is to reduce this effect to achieve VR experiences that are closer to real life. We are researching to what degree passive haptics affect our perception of time. We created an immersive VR experience where the virtual environment simulates the actual room around the user, moving objects such as doors, some devices, and users’ hands are tracked and displayed through the VR headset as well.
