Mankind Games developed a VR firefighting training system in collaboration with the Tokyo Fire Department. Testing with 119 students confirmed it effectively simulates zero-visibility smoke environments. The VR system achieved a 90% cost reduction compared to traditional simulated fire training and eliminated the need for dedicated instructors, enabling safer and more frequent autonomous training sessions.
