PREPARED is a next-generation Disaster Preparedness VR Simulator designed to train individuals, emergency responders, and organizations in life-saving techniques during critical emergency situations. The first mission, Fire Escape & Rescue Challenge, puts players in a high-stakes fire emergency where they must navigate a burning building, follow evacuation protocols, and make real-time survival decisions.

Currently, the project is being developed for PC, but it will be scaled to Virtual Reality (VR) for an immersive, hands-on experience. Additionally, the simulator will be made available through Pixel Streaming, allowing users to run it directly in a browser without high-end hardware, leveraging the power of Unreal Engine’s advanced streaming capabilities.

🔹 Key Features & Technologies

🎮 Powered by Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) – Delivering stunning realism and interactivity.
🔥 Advanced Fire Simulation with Niagara – Realistic fire behavior, smoke, and particle effects dynamically react to the environment.
🔄 Complex AI Behavior using Behavior Trees – AI-driven NPCs that simulate real human responses to fire emergencies, creating dynamic and unpredictable scenarios.
🖱 Interaction System – Players can interact with doors, fire extinguishers, alarms, and rescue tools, creating an authentic emergency experience.
🌟 Lumen & Ray Tracing for Cinematic Realism – High-fidelity lighting and reflections enhance the immersive atmosphere.
🎬 UE5 Sequencer for Cinematics – Story-driven sequences introduce each mission, providing context and emotional depth to the challenges.
🖥 Pixel Streaming Support – Run the simulator on any device with a web browser, eliminating hardware barriers.
🕶 VR Adaptation (Upcoming) – Future updates will bring full VR support for a highly interactive, immersive training experience.

🚨 Mission 01: Fire Escape & Rescue Challenge

🔥 Navigate a burning office building in a high-risk fire emergency.
🚪 Find safe exits while dealing with blocked paths, structural hazards, and smoke-filled rooms.
🧯 Use fire extinguishers and other rescue tools strategically.
🆘 Assist NPCs (AI-driven characters) who react dynamically to the fire and require help. (Rescue, Injured and Revive animation development is in progress and will be changed once completed)
🕒 Make quick decisions under time-sensitive and high-pressure conditions. (Mission will have more objectives as the development progresses)
