UTILIZING WILDFIRE DISASTER MANAGEMENT THROUGH IMMERSIVE SIMULATIONS IN VRCHAT

Abstract

This thesis implements in-depth studies of Utilizing Wildfire Disaster Management Through Immersive Simulations In VRChat, a game platform that could be accessed with both PC and VR Headset. This research aims to educate a larger audience about wildfire disaster and how to manage the situation given as a simulation for real world implementation. The simulation model created replicating simplified actual wildfire mitigation situations. This project was the first that used VRChat as the distributional game platform for wildfire disaster management, and within the test conducted proved this project could reach the intended purpose and target audience.
