STATEMENT OF WORK – 360VR TECHNOLOGY A. Introduction/Background We are living in a time in which emergencies such as active shooters, natural disasters, fires, etc. are occurring more frequently. However, the technology to reduce and potentially mitigate these emergencies has not changed drastically in the last 20 years. In these situations, the first responders tasked with saving lives and stopping these situations rely heavily on knowing the layouts, resources and hazards in a building. Despite the critical importance of this information, a large majority of these structures still use physical binders with 2-dimensional black and white paper floorplans. These floorplans are antiquated (often irrelevant due to various building updates and remodels), missing essential information, and ultimately unreliable in these life or death situations. Currently, first responders are utilizing two different methods. The first and most common consists of ‘emergency binders. These are physical documents that response teams use often en route to the emergency site. Through our research and interviews of over 400 first responders and facility managers, we have concluded that these documents have several shortcomings. They are often outdated, lacking critical information, and are frequently hard to interpret. The other solution, seldom utilized, is ‘Pre-Incident Planning’. This is only done for a very select few buildings; usually buildings who already have close relationships with first responders and have frequent incidents. This preincident planning takes a lot of time and energy to perform by firefighters and typically misses critical features of the building. Again, these turn into physical documents stored in binders by first responder teams which are tedious to flip through in tense situations where every second counts. 360VR Technology provides a solution that takes a 21st-century approach to this problem. We create 3D models of buildings that are fully detailed, while maintaining easily to navigate and interpretable features during high stakes situations. We collect all necessary information required by Fire and Police Departments, HAZMAT, and other response organizations. This is done to make a holistic, easily accessible set of information. Our platform is webbased and accessible on any device without any special software or equipment needed; a feature crucial to situations where adaptability and accessibility is key. We make sure that the information is secured; our team will ensure that all information is encrypted, stored securely and safely kept for access to vetted individuals. B. Objectives The objective of this project is to add additional functionality to our platform that emergency responders and homeland security personnel have requested such as tabletop training tools, easier navigation of the model during different emergency situations, and an offline option. Furthermore, we want to continue our customer discovery process primarily for government buildings, community centers, and stadiums. Large potential “targets” that we think have similar problems to the issues we outlined above. Our objective is to aid first responders in their emergency response effectiveness by providing them with information and tools. C. Scope of Work Fiscal Year(s) 2019 to 2020 we will work to complete the next version of our platform and continue our customer discovery investigation. Work will include a fluid development process that will follow the insights gathered from previous and current customer discovery, with an end goal of aiding first responders in their emergency response effectiveness. While the features added may change, we aim to add tabletop training tools, easier navigation of the model during different emergency situations, and an offline or downloadable option to the platform. For our interviews we are aiming to interview at least 50 personnel in government buildings, community centers, and stadiums whose role includes responsibilities within security, operations, and/or facility management.
