IVIN for Crisis Response, Threat Assessment and Visualization
The goal in creating IVIN was to make dangerous jobs safer — protecting our fire and police personnel, but IVIN is an extremely flexible environment that can be used in many applications.
In crisis response, IVIN can provide detailed intelligence about a building's layout and contents, mitigating risk for those entering the building. IVIN produces accurate interior visualization, including floor plans that show where the viewer is in relation to he overall building layout. On-scene commanders can rehearse their responses and guide team members inside, particularly if interior views are obscured by smoke or poor lighting. In addition to event-response situations, IVIN can be used proactively to help train first responders and building occupants to prepare for emergencies.
Virtual, immersive experiences are only the beginning with IVIN. IVIN can be tailored to fit your needs. It can accommodate enhancements, from simple additional visuals such as overlay information signs identifying the location of hazardous materials to complex visual and textual data such as the best escape routes, critical system information, and emergency cut-off locations and instructions. IVIN can be used to display both static database and interactive information.
IVIN can be used for threat assessment, facilitating "what if" preparation plans. The IVIN visualizations can be accessible to authorized users through a web browser, or set up separately on one computer, or an intranet.
IVIN is the perfect vehicle for anything from a truly realistic site-specific training simulation to a detailed interactive virtual tour. Beyond public safety and training, IVIN can provide realistic and entertaining remote viewing of historical sites, museums, public areas, or high-profile real estate locations.
The IVIN process consists of two integrated steps. Using tripod-mounted cameras, crews shoot detailed digital imagery of all the rooms in your building complex. These images are then processed using a patent-pending workflow to produce the final accurate, photorealistic simulation, which can be viewed through any web browser. It's non-intrusive and cost-effective. You get much more than a rendered and scripted animation of your building, and you will likely pay less.
