Mission Description
- Context: Natural disasters like floods, wildfires, or earthquakes are big challenges. Create a Disaster Response VR Simulation to demonstrate how technology can help detect and manage such events. This virtual challenge spreads awareness and inspires tech solutions for community safety.
- Task: Using VR design software (CoSpaces or similar), develop an interactive scenario for one type of disaster. For example, choose flooding: Build a virtual town with a river. Script rising water levels and place IoT flood sensors that send warnings (use info panels or animations to show this). Show evacuation drones or robots helping people (animated characters moving to safety or drone objects flying). Alternatively, for a wildfire scenario: a forest scene with fire spreading, and AI camera towers detecting smoke, triggering firefighter robot responses. Include at least one user interaction – e.g., clicking a sensor to see data, or choosing a response action.
- Expected Output: An educational VR experience where the viewer can witness a disaster unfolding and see smart tech in action. In the simulation, as the floodwaters rise, a virtual sensor might pop up an alert “Water level critical at Bridge 2 – evacuate area!” and you’d see a robot boat moving to assist people. The user can navigate through the scene or switch viewpoints to observe how early warning and robotic interventions save the day. This mission ties coding and creativity with real-world crisis management, demonstrating the importance of technology in disaster mitigation and keeping communities safe.
Student Goal
Using VR design software (CoSpaces or similar), develop an interactive scenario for one type of disaster.
For example, choose flooding: Build a virtual town with a river. Script rising water levels and place IoT flood
sensors that send warnings (use info panels or animations to show this). Show evacuation drones
or robots helping people (animated characters moving to safety or drone objects flying). Alternatively, for a
wildfire scenario: a forest scene with fire spreading, and AI camera towers detecting smoke, triggering firefighter
robot responses. Include at least one user interaction – e.g., clicking a sensor to see data, or choosing a response
action.
