The main aim of this study was to develop a prototype of a VR application for professional training in disaster management tasks. Because several scenarios can only be trained with limited variability at considerable expense in conventional physical training environments, the need for immersive VR training is becoming increasingly apparent. Moreover, virtual training offers the possibility of representing hazardous environments with minimal risk. Existing virtual training applications lack the combination of multi-user team training and virtual full-body representation of all training participants.
