Description: In this application you will learn how and when to use four types of fire extinguishers (Dry Powder, Foam, Water and Carbon Dioxide). After learning the correct procedure for safely handling a fire extinguisher, you will be tasked to extinguish a fire hazard that is effective for that extinguisher (Paper, Gas, Electrical and Fuel hazards). Once all four types of extinguishers and hazards have been completed, a fire training simulation will begin. This simulation will put your skills to the test in a search and rescue operation.
During the fire training simulation, you will be tasked with exploring a house during the aftermath of an earthquake. Using the knowledge learned from the training stage, you will be assessed on how effectively you tackle any hazards or dangers discovered during your exploration. Failure to correctly tackle hazards will result in a failed simulation. Once you are satisfied that the search and rescue operation is completed, you can return to the hub area and generate your score.
Review: I’m not quite sure what ‘Virtual Reality Experiment Framework’ was trying to prove, but whatever it was it fails. It just doesn’t feel well made and the controls are appalling. I can see that this was supposed to be some sort of test-bed tool for serious safety training, but it doesn’t do a good job at all. At least it is free I suppose so everyone can try it out, but I really wouldn’t waste your time. There is nothing to see here other than a failed test program of epic proportions.
