Imagine a flight simulator, but for surviving floods or wildfires in your own neighborhood. It uses virtual reality and mobile games to teach people exactly how to react when an emergency hits. Instead of reading a boring manual, people learn by playing roles and solving puzzles in a safe, digital environment.
High fatality and property damage rates during disasters occur because citizens do not know how to react to alerts or follow instructions, despite having advanced alert systems.
A multiplayer VR serious game, a gamified mobile application for all ages, and a Learning Management System (LMS) to track preparedness levels.
If you are an insurance provider dealing with high payout costs from natural disasters — this project developed a gamified training system that reduces human and economic losses by teaching citizens how to act correctly during crises.
If you are an EdTech company dealing with low student engagement in safety courses — this project developed a VR serious game and LMS that makes disaster preparedness interactive and measurable for schools.
If you are a city agency dealing with inconsistent public readiness during storms — this project developed 'Disastropedia' and a mobile app to connect citizens with emergency services for better coordination.
The project uses a non-profit freemium model where in-game purchases are replaced by donations for relief organizations, with a small percentage kept for maintenance.
Based on available project data, the system is designed for large-scale use through a public open beta and integration into public education initiatives.
Based on available project data, the project emphasizes a freely accessible collaborative knowledge base, though specific commercial licensing terms are not detailed.
It includes a Learning Management System (LMS) to measure preparedness levels on a unified scale across VR and mobile users.
The project period runs from 2023-10-01 to 2026-09-30.
The consortium is diverse, comprising 15 partners across 11 countries. With a 27% industry ratio (4 companies, 5 of which are SMEs), there is a balanced mix of academic research and commercial application, suggesting the tools are being built with practical market viability in mind.
