项目摘要

This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).In recent years, we have witnessed a sharp increase in active shooter events; however, unfortunately, there has been no introduction of new technology or tactics capable of increasing preparedness and training for active shooter events. This project promotes the progress of science and technology development by building interdisciplinary partnerships and research capacity between Bowie State University (BSU) and University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) for exploratory investigation of active shooter events at Institutes of Higher Education (IHE). The goal of this project is to conduct data collection, preliminary experiments, and a prototype development for the two campuses for improving emergency preparedness for an active shooter event using collaborative immersive virtual reality (VR) environment. This project develops algorithms, implement software and demonstrate proof-of-concept using building systems as a challenge application area. This research involves devising novel conceptual methods for new theoretical and empirical guidance needed to have an environment for human and machine decision making for highly uncertain, complex, time urgent, and dynamically changing missions. The research objectives of this proposal include: 1) Develop an immersive Collaborative Virtual Environment (CVE) using Oculus for course of action, visualization, and situational awareness for active shooter events, 2) Develop a unique immersive graphical user interface (GUI) for communicating between PCs (Player characters) and NPCs (Non-Player Characters) for user interaction, 3) Implementing algorithms for human behavior for NPCs in active shooter events. (e.g. Hostile, Non-Hostile, Selfish, Leader-Following, Panic), 4) Deep learning-based (data-driven) behavioral modeling for realistic NPCs. The successfully implemented project contributes to the state-of-the-art in emergency response training using VR by developing knowledge that could form the basis of public education and awareness programs to help facility occupants, their rescuers and city officials respond appropriately during extreme emergency situation.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助的。近年来，我们目睹了积极的射手事件的急剧增加。但是，不幸的是，没有引入新的技术或策略能够增加积极射击事件的准备和培训。该项目通过在鲍伊州立大学（BSU）和内华达大学（UNLV）之间建立跨学科的合作伙伴关系和研究能力来促进科学和技术发展的进步，以探索高等教育研究所（IHE）的主动射击事件的探索性研究。该项目的目的是使用协作沉浸式虚拟现实（VR）环境进行两个校园进行数据收集，初步实验以及两个校园的原型开发。该项目开发算法，实施软件并使用建筑系统作为挑战应用领域的概念验证。这项研究涉及为新的理论和经验指导设计新颖的概念方法，以使其为高度不确定，复杂，时间紧急和动态变化的人类和机器决策制定环境。该提案的研究目标包括：1）使用Oculus开发一个沉浸式的协作虚拟环境（CVE），以进行行动，可视化和对主动射击事件的情境意识，开发一个独特的浸润图形用户界面（GUI），以在PCS（播放器角色）（非播放器）中进行启用的pcs（播放器角色），以实现人类互动，以实现人类的行为，以实现人类的行为，3）事件。（例如，敌对，非敌对，自私，领导者，恐慌），4）对现实的NPC的深度学习（数据驱动）行为建模。成功实施的项目通过开发知识来促进了公共教育和意识计划的基础，以帮助设施居住者，其救援人员和城市官员在极端的紧急情况下做出适当的反应，从而有助于使用VR的最先进。这一奖项反映了NSF的立法任务，反映了NSF的立法任务，并被认为是通过基金会的智力效果来评估的，并值得通过评估来进行评估。
