Abstract

This paper has described a firefighting training clothes based on embedded wireless sensors which provides the wearer with multi-mode human-computer interaction. The whole software system is made up of four single modules: temperature data acquisition module, motion data acquisition module, data communication module, temperature control module. When wearer moves in the real world, the accelerometer and the gyro can measure the wearer's movement information so that the virtual character in the virtual scene walks the same path as the real one. Command will be sent to the heating and cooling modules in order to adjust the temperature of the firefighting training clothes while the virtual character is close to or away from the fire source. We designed experiments to test the temperature control function of firefighting training clothes in certain circumstance. The results showed that the wearer could tell the temperature change when the virtual character is close to or away from the fire source. In the future, we plan to provide the wearer with immersive interactive experience via virtual reality helmet so that the wearer can be fully integrated into the virtual scene.
