Objective
Despite participating in scenario training, many medical first responders (MFRs) perceive themselves as inadequately prepared to respond to mass casualty incidents (MCIs). The objective of this study was to conduct a comprehensive examination of traditional MCI scenario training methods, focusing on their inherent strengths and limitation...
Background:
Mixed Reality (MR) simulation training is emerging in paramedical education for practicing stress-intensive scenarios like mass casualty incidents in a safe and controlled environment. Current training platforms, however, lack real-time stress and human performance monitoring tools.

Promoting resilience is crucial to support people in the face of traumatic experiences caused by existential crises. Virtual Reality (VR) can support resilience as it allows for embodied experiences and experiential learning. We present the design and initial user evaluation of an immersive VR experience for strengthening resilience, inspired by Vi...
Virtual Reality is becoming increasingly popular to serve as training ground for challenging environments, which often involve making decisions in cognitive demanding and stressful situations. It has become common practice to analyze bio-signals to determine our current physiological status and fitness. However, we continue to rely on subjective fe...
Introduction: The occurrence of mass casualty incidents is increasing globally. Training is an essential cornerstone in achieving disaster preparedness, yet studies show that medical first responders perceive their level of readiness to face disaster incidents as inadequate. As real-world disaster training exercises can be characterized as resource...
Training in virtual reality is becoming increasingly relevant for several target groups. This is especially valid when it comes to simulating a challenging environment that is not or only with drawbacks feasible in a real-life training session, involves too many risks for trainees, or is associated with high setup and/or execution costs. Therefore,...
Meaningfulness is a profound aspect of our lives. So far, a concrete reflection of what meaning means in HCI is still rare. To understand users as humans, and thus, the humanity in being a user, we adopt Viktor Frankl’s understanding of users as meaning-seeking subjects. To make the concept of meaningfulness more graspable, we refer to what Frankl...
Virtual Reality (VR) training has become increasingly important for police first responders in recent years. Improving the training experience in such complex contexts requires ecological validity of virtual training. To achieve this, VR systems need to be capable of simulating the complex experiences of police officers ‘in the field.’ Oneway to do...
