Abstract

NIST PSCR was allocated $300 million to support research for future first responder technologies. The UI/UX team are using Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) to test the usability and allow for rapid prototyping of new user interfaces. They've worked with law enforcement, fire service, and emergency medical services to come up with unique virtual environments and scenarios to support the development of visual aids, haptic feedback devices, and audio cue style interfaces. The UI/UX team has also awarded over $15 million in grants and $1.5 million in prizes to external collaborators supporting research and development for public safety use of VR/AR technologies. Scott will review past NIST VR and AR prize challenges and share key developments from the 2018 PSIAP-UI and 2020 PSIAP-AR grant awardees.
