Virtual Competition | Event 1

Training through Simulation
 

Scenarios

Vitals simulated includes heart rate (skin color change), respiration (chest movement) and an array of injury patterns (lacerations, burns, airway obstruction, hemorrhage and amputations).

Train Derailment

Train derailment

Civilian train derailment in an open grassy area. Agents can navigate in open spaces around the scene.

Military Base 

Military base

Military base in a dry, desert environment. Agents can navigate at ground level through paths between structures.

Modeling Injuries, Predicting Outcomes

Complementing the Systems competition, the Virtual competition created triage environments with greater degrees of freedom in terms of injury severity and physical settings where we cannot reproduce in the real-world. 

Competitor teams used stand-off sensors such as cameras to evaluate casualty health status simulated by applying a high-fidelity physiology engine on virtual avatars. The event showed virtual scenarios are valuable extensions of real-world simulations, creating opportunities for sim-to-real applications.
