CIVS Senior Research Scientist, Jack Moreland presented at the NADCA Research & Development Meeting on October 27, 2022. The presentation was on a VR Fire Safety Simulator for the die casting industry. NADCA (North American Die Casting Association) hosts 3 R&D meetings per year, attended by engineers and research personnel from the die casting industry and academia. CIVS worked with NADCA to develop the simulator through a grant from the Harvill Foundation.

The simulator teaches fire safety and lets users practice putting out different types of fires in a virtual die casting facility. The simulator includes scenarios for fires involving different casting metals (Aluminum, Zinc, and Magnesium), and enforces the industry standard PASS method (Pull the pin, Aim the nozzle, Squeeze the handle, Sweep back and forth). The simulator will be available to NADCA members on the Meta Quest 2 VR system.
