Immersive Modular Preparedness Intelligent Tutoring (IMPRINT)

项目摘要/摘要 讲师必须提供引人入胜、逼真且身临其境的桌面模拟 危险废物操作和应急(HAZWOPER)支持危险的再认证 材料(危险物质)工作人员和第一反应人员的安全，并遵守现场协议。这种练习经常 让讲师负担起讲授论文或PowerPoint模拟的负担，尽管这些模拟基于真实事件，但无法 让受训者有意义地参与或沉浸其中。当受训者无法参与时，他们就会把自己和其他人 在外地应对危险物质事件时，由于降低了他们遵守礼仪的能力，他们处于危险之中。 因此，应急培训组织需要经济高效的培训解决方案，以提高 桌面模拟的真实性和真实性，以更好地装备学员安全和 当他们在战场上时，效果很好。 Charles River Analytics，与新英格兰财团和The 波士顿消防局建议开发和评估身临其境的模块化准备智能 家教(印记)。Imprint旨在提供强大的、商业的、便携的自适应虚拟现实(VR)解决方案 这将得到智能虚拟培训系统和开发框架的补充，该框架将积极 提高学员在一系列现实的现场场景中执行HAZWOPER程序的能力。印记 将是一个自由的智能教学系统(ITS)，使用Oculus Quest VR耳机提供 身临其境的虚拟培训体验。有了印记，受训人员可以在 通过引导和身临其境的程序排练，提供安全、可控的环境。在第二阶段，我们将制作一个 通过生产就绪VR案例研究开发套件和库对现有培训进行补充的系统 的VR案例研究取代了用于准备的标准纸质文件和PowerPoint基于情景的活动 实习生参加实践评估和最终的HAZWOPER资格测试。

Project Summary/Abstract Instructors must deliver engaging, realistic, and immersive tabletop simulations at the conclusion of Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) recertification to support Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) worker and first responder safety and adherence to protocol in the field. This exercise often burdens instructors to deliver a paper or PowerPoint simulation that, although based on real events, fails to meaningfully engage or immerse trainees. When trainees fail to engage, they are putting themselves and others at risk by decreasing their ability to adhere to protocol when responding to HAZMAT incidents in the field. Therefore, emergency response training organizations require a cost-effective training solution that increases the realism and authenticity of tabletop simulations to better equip trainees to execute HAZWOPER safely and effectively when they are in the field. Charles River Analytics, in partnership with The New England Consortium and Lt. Michael Kates of the Boston Fire Department, proposes to develop and evaluate an Immersive Modular Preparedness Intelligent Tutor (IMPRINT). IMPRINT aims to provide a robust, commercial, portable adaptive virtual reality (VR) solution that will be complemented by an intelligent virtual training system and development framework that actively improves trainees' ability to perform HAZWOPER procedures within a range of realistic field scenarios. IMPRINT will be an untethered intelligent tutoring system (ITS) using the Oculus Quest VR headset to provide an immersive, virtual training experience. With IMPRINT, trainees can apply complex, dangerous procedures in a safe, controlled environment through guided and immersive procedure rehearsal. In Phase II, we will produce a system that complements existing training with a production ready VR case study development suite and a library of VR case studies that replace standard paper and PowerPoint scenario-based activities used to prepare trainees for hands-on assessments and their final HAZWOPER qualification test.
