Project Description: Provide a virtual training environment for firefighters to mentally train in dangerous situations. This will help prepare the firefighters for extreme situations without the risk of the firefighters actually getting hurt. They can learn how to scan a room, determine if the floor and walls are safe or are about to collapse, or find any trapped people, among other things. Their arm movements will be tracked using Microsoft Kinect, so the user can use arm movements to gather information needed to make decisions, such as lightly tapping on a wall or gesturing to a trapped person that they know they are there.
