VSTEP is proud to announce that its RescueSim virtual incident management training platform is to be fully compatible with the next generation Oculus Rift Head Mounted Displays, making full immersion 3D virtual training possible for its users and opening up new training possibilities for emergency services. 

At the Kooy Symposium 2013, Delft Dynamics, specialised in building unmanned helicopters, presented their Universal Simulation Platform for Unmanned Systems (USPvOS).

Air Methods Corporation (Nasdaq:AIRM) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with FlightSafety International to use its Dallas-based Eurocopter EC135 Level D qualified full flight simulator for the Company's pilot training program.

The promotional assessment center creates anxiety and fear for many promotional candidates.

For its compulsory yearly training, the department for Roads & Tunnels of The Hague has organized three large scale tunnel incident exercises using the RescueSim virtual incident management simulator developed by VSTEP.

VSTEP’s virtual incident training simulator RescueSim is currently used by the Dutch Railways (NS) to train its personnel in tunnel evacuation procedures and railway incident management. T

A little preplanning and investigation will go a long way in selecting a training simulation program that fits the needs of your fire department, Larry L. Collins writes.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and VSTEP have been awarded the "ICT-project of the year" award for their RescueSim Virtual Airport Incident Management simulator.

CommandSim announced today another first for the fire training industry--its rapid fire training sim-builder app, SimsUshare Mobile, was recently approved for sale on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

After eight years of development, countless training hours of testing in a fully functional prototype, the Guardian Mobile Collapsed Building Simulator is now a reality.

The University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System has received a $2.5 million grant from the Medtronic Foundation to coordinate Illinois Heart Rescue, an ambitious statewide all-volunteer effort to more than double survival from sudden cardiac arrests in Illinois

CommandSim, an industry leader in software tools for fire and emergency services training, is proud to announce the release of its SimsUshare Mobile software  on the iPad, for rapidly creating fire training simulations based on one's own buildings and hazards.

A large group of New York City Firefighters chartered a bus to bring them to Fire Expo 2012 at the Pennsylvania State Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, PA last weekend (May 18-20).

Between 1999 and 2004 an average of 49 bus and coach fires were reported each year in Norway, and 122 per year in Sweden. However, it can be assumed that the actual number of fires is considerably higher than this, as a large number of fires are not reported.

The Medtronic Foundation's HeartRescue Project has produced an interactive, online experience, the "Save-a-Life Simulator," to promote proper and timely bystander response to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

For EMO, a transshipment terminal for coal and iron ore in Western Europe, VSTEP created a crane simulator for preparation and training of their future and current EMO dry bulk crane operators, increasing their effectiveness and precision.

Even the most complete training cannot protect first responders unilaterally from the tremendous risks they face every day.  This tragic fact was driven home last week when Philadelphia had to come to grips with the death of two firefighters.

CommandSim will debut the world's first mobile app and desktop companion application for creating and sharing training simulations at booth #13038 at FDIC 2012 in Indianapolis.

Simulation driver training is not meant to replace the cognitive or the psychomotor aspects of a driving program.
