Using VR Function

The VR function allows you to practice firefighting in various pre-prepared virtual environments.

Launching VR Mode

  1. Select the PyroquestVR icon, point the cursor with the controller and pull the TRIGGER button, or if you haven't removed the joystick from its place, use the bottle operating lever, or direct the cursor with your gaze. After approximately 5 seconds, the cursor will automatically click.
  2. From the list that appears, select the fire scenario you wish to practice:
    • Office fire
    • Kitchen oil fire
    • Warehouse fire
    • Battery fire
  3. Select the appropriate extinguisher type for your objective. Use the joystick or look at the appropriate point, and the software will automatically click. image.png

Navigation in VR Environment

You can freely look around the virtual environment by turning your head. If the space is large enough, you can physically move in the Virtual Reality space; if this is not possible, use the joystick button. Important: remove the locking pin to operate the lever.

The VR-compatible extinguisher should be handled like a real extinguisher:

  • Operable after pulling the safety pin
  • Aim the extinguisher
  • Pull the lever to extinguish

Executing Firefighting Practice

  1. When the simulation starts, assess the nature and size of the fire.
  2. Approach the fire from a safe distance.
  3. Prepare the extinguisher:
    • Pull out the safety pin from the VR extinguisher
    • Aim at the base of the fire
    • Press the lever to discharge the extinguishing agent
  4. Execute the proper extinguishing technique:
    • Use sweeping motions from one edge of the fire to the other
    • Keep the extinguisher at an appropriate distance from the fire
    • Observe how the fire responds to the extinguishing attempt

Completing VR Simulation

  1. After successfully extinguishing the fire or depleting the extinguishing agent, the simulation automatically ends.
  2. The system displays a performance evaluation (duration, technique, success).
  3. You can choose between "Retry" or "Return to Main Menu" options.
