XVR On Scene

XVR On Scene can be used in several settings to provide (group) education and training. During education, information and knowledge is provided by the instructor to participants. For instance, to explain a standard operating procedure which is new to the participants. During training, the participants need to apply this (new) knowledge. For instance, they have to provide the correct commands in the correct order to the correct resources to execute that standard operating procedure.

The following settings are available for use of XVR On Scene in education and training:

• Self-led education and e-learning, by using pre-recorded videos or by using interactive scenarios with question pop-ups. 
• Classroom setting, in which 1 instructor explains the content to a group of participants/trainees.
• VR-supported experience of incident scenes and evolutions, in which 1 instructor explains a group of participants (all wearing VR eead-mounted-displays) the evolutions of a dynamic incident scene (for instance a flash-over, backdraft or security procedures in a high-

  location)
• Individual training of 1 participants, while other participants observe
• Team trainng of several participants (and some others observing)

In most training programs and curricula, these methods are combined.

During individual training, XVR On Scene is used by 1 instructor or 1 instructor + 1 operator to train 1 participant.

A incident scenario is prepared in advance, containing the start situation of the incident (i.e. when the participant starts to respond to the incident) and different ways on how this incident could evolve.

During the training session, the participant is presented with the (dynamic) state of the incident. Information from persons at the scene and the crew under command of the participant is role-played by the instructor or operator. The instructor and operator control how the incident evolves, based on the actions and decisions (not) taken by the participant. They can furthermore improvise based on the participant's reactions and based on the capability and personal learning objectives of that participant.

An XVR team training is set-up like an individual training session, but with multiple participants. During a team training, XVR On Scene is used by several participants and several instructors and operators. Most common is to have X participants, at least 1 instructor up to an instructor for every participant, and 1 or more operators.

In large-scale exercises, usually multiple command levels participate. XVR On Scene is often used in such exercises in combination with other exercise tools, such as XVR Crisis Media, XVR Resource Management and operational crisis management systems. The use of these fsupporting tools differs per command level. For instance, the bronze level commanders (operational/tactical level) use XVR On Scene as in team-training setting. Higher command levels use a combination of XVR On Scene views, logistical information of XVR Resource management and ability to acquiere and send information via XVR Crisis Media.

The set-up of such an exercise is alike an XVR team training, but in this case with even more participants. Most common is to have X participants, multiple instructors up to one instructor for every participant, and a facilitative staff of multiple operators and role-players.

A detailed handbook, step-wise wincident timeline and one or more XVR scenarios are prepared in advance. These define the start situation of the incident and several story-lines on how this incident could evolve.

During the exercise, the participants are presented with the (dynamic) state of the incident. Information from persons at the scene, the resources and non-participating organisations are role-played by the instructors and role-players. The instructors decide how the incident evolves, based on the actions and decisions (not) taken by the participants. The operators make these changes happen in XVR. They can improvise based on the participant's reactions their (personal) learning objectives and the challenges the instructors want them to face.
