Crimson

This project which was completed in 2007, aimed at searching, developing, and validating an innovative system using the latest virtual reality technologies for preparation, training, and mission management in urban crisis times (terrorist attacks, hostage taking, NBCR crisis, etc).

The CRIMSON system enables the 3D simulation and evaluation of sophisticated urban scenarios that would be hard to validate in real conditions.

Missions

L’ambition de CRIMSON était de simuler et d’évaluer en 3D des scénarios complexes de crise urbaine et d’urgence qu’il était difficile de simuler et de valider en conditions réelles. Immersion avait en charge la conception d’un outil unique pour la création, la communication et le partage de connaissances complexes entre des utilisateurs ayant des formations ou des cultures très différentes. L’interface, matérielle et logicielle, mise en œuvre par l’entreprise avait pour objectif d’améliorer considérablement la planification et la gestion des crises, la préparation des tâches de gestion des crises et, en même temps, de fournir un outil captivant pour la formation collaborative des acteurs de la sécurité et l’information des citoyens.
