INFERNO is a VR application designed to educate students and faculty about fire safety protocols by simulating panic situations with a scriptable environment featuring real-time audio-visual and haptic feedback. The application was developed using Unity and C#, with 3D models created in Blender.

We created a 3D model of a building known as TT in VIT Vellore using an AutoCAD floor plan. The application simulates fire drills with different types of fires and evacuation paths, incorporating real-life fire extinguisher types in specific locations. Users experience the fire extinguishing process and learn the shortest paths to the nearest exits.
Our objective is to educate students and faculty about fire safety protocols by simulating panic situations with a scriptable environment featuring real-time audio-visual and haptic feedback. We implemented a grading system based on user performance, which utilizes an AI algorithm to assess different pathways, timings, and efficiency according to official protocols.
We also showcased how this project aligns with the UN's SDG goals and demonstrated the practical implementation of AR/VR in training individuals for hazardous situations.
