The XVR Expo app lets you access immersive and engaging virtual (incident) scenes provided to you by your organisation, to prepare yourself for a training or exercise. Whether it’s on the job, at home or during your commute, Expo makes preparation and learning easy, engaging and accessible. The XVR Expo app allows you to: • Connect to your learning organisation’s server to find and download the scenes you need. • View detailed scene descriptions that explain what is needed for you to successfully complete a scene. • Navigate and interact with scenes through an intuitive, visually-oriented interface. • Answer multiple choice questions based on your observations. • Perform triage on virtual casualties. • Get immediate feedback on your answers and decisions. • Support for multiple languages in the app’s main interface. XVR Expo app - Feature Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgt-ae3_CiM --- Note: Expo is not a fully open platform. You will only be able to log in and play scenes if an account has been provided to you by an authorised organization on the platform. Only builders and managers from such organisations may create and upload scene content, and they will determine which scenes you do (not) have access to.
