Thanks to CO-LABS, Inc. for the visit! Learn more about the PSITC here: https://lnkd.in/gRJAyQGY
We are grateful to have another tour graciously hosted by the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet Authority) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Public Safety Communications Research Division (PSCR)! On this tour, we saw four demonstrations: 1.) Compact Rapid Deployables 2.) User Interface User Experience 3.) Location-Based Services 4.) Mission Critical Voice We also looked at security platforms and protocols. One interactive demo simulated a gas leak detection in VR to better understand how new tools and technology can assist firefighters with their jobs. The visit included a tour of the Public Safety Immersive Test Center (PSITC) located in the FirstNet Authority’s Boulder, Colorado facility. As per their website, “The PSITC provides opportunities to conduct immersive public safety standards and measurements testing. It allows for limitless virtual environments for testing and demonstration purposes, including scenarios for triage, search and rescue, indoor navigation, and situational awareness. The test center is made of: - A modular layout - A motion capture system with 65 high-speed optical tracking cameras capable of centimeter accuracy - A variety of augmented and virtual reality headsets - A mobile staircase and other equipment for z-axis motion - Physical furniture and gear to add a tactile component to simulations NIST PSCR plans to update the space regularly with enhancements such as haptics and metrology, 5G, edge computing, WebXR capabilities (which allow virtual and augmented realities to be combined), and other technological advances for public safety operations. The PSITC will also integrate technologies from other PSCR research areas like the Internet of Things (IoT) and analytics for use in research, development, and demonstration purposes.” We are excited to see the potential this facility holds for advancing communications technology for public safety!
