VR-prepared transforms emergency training into an intense VR experience.
Master life-saving in a hyper-realistic world!

VR-prepared is a VR serious game immersing citizens in disaster preparedness through realistic, varied missions that foster adaptability and essential survival skills in dynamic environments. Disasters, whether natural or human-made, affect millions globally. Despite growing awareness, many communities remain vulnerable due to gaps in preparedness. Developed in the European Union co-funded B-prepared project, VR-prepared is co-designed by gamers, software developers, volunteer firefighters, paramedics and civil protection officers as a Virtual Reality (VR) serious game, offering an immersive learning experience through a variety of disaster preparedness scenarios.

Cutting-Edge Technology, Real-World Application. Our VR simulations utilize state-of-the-art technology to create highly realistic environments and scenarios with Unreal Engine. This enables users to experience and understand disaster dynamics in a way that traditional training cannot replicate.

As a cutting-edge serious game within the B-prepared project, it is co-designed with first and second responders to revolutionize disaster preparedness training. Utilizing the power of high definition PC powered Virtual Reality, it offers an immersive and interactive platform where users can experience realistic disaster scenarios, make critical decisions, and develop essential response skills through life-saving in-game missions in a safe and controlled environment.

Why learn with VR-prepared?

• Realistic Simulations: Experience meticulously designed scenarios that replicate real-world disasters, including King Tide floods and forest fires. Each scenario presents unique challenges and requires strategic problem-solving.
• Skill Development: Master critical skills such as resuscitation, defibrillation, fire extinguishing, escape route identification, and assisting vulnerable individuals in crisis situations.
• Safe Learning Environment: Practice responding to emergencies without the risks associated with real-world events, building confidence and competence in a virtual setting.
• Collaborative Learning: Engage in multiplayer mode, fostering teamwork and communication as you collaborate with others to overcome challenges and achieve common goals.
• Dynamic Gameplay: After a tutorial, there are different scenarios, e.g. King Tide or Forest Fire. Each scenario features a randomized set of missions (e.g. resuscitation, extinguishing small fires, finding an escape route, etc.), ensuring high replayability and simulating the unpredictable nature of actual disasters.
• Data-Driven Insights: Player behavior and gameplay are logged in a privacy-preserving way, providing valuable data for assessing preparedness levels and contributing to ongoing research in the field.
• LMS integration: demonstrated with RU-prepared, VR-prepared can seamlessly integrate with existing LMS platforms, making it an ideal content for curricula in formal education as well as informal e-learning courses.
• Community Building and Collaboration: Participate in our virtual reality hackathon series and contribute to the development of innovative preparedness solutions. Join the open beta program and help us build a more resilient community.
• Help those in need: After the closing of the beta, the game will be available in a freemium model where in-game purchases are replaced by in-game donations for relief organizations, with a small percentage kept for maintenance and further development.
