Bradford EV Car Fire Experience

Role

Main Programmer/Developer

Platform

Pico Neo 4

This was my second professional project as the main developer. The aim of the project was to train first responders - particularly firefighters - on how to best handle Electric Vehicles (EV) during incidents.

The project required frequent communication with Bradford University and the fire service to ensure requirements were met and information was accurate throughout the experience.

Implemented were three scenarios.
- A car identification scenario with randomized cars
- An EV car shutdown procedure
- An EV car fire first response scenario split into an EV fire progression demonstration followed by a gamified fire fight with dynamic spreading fire.

Throughout the app users are assessed on their performance on tasks as well as through quizzes.

This project was my first chance to properly sink my teeth into additive scene loading and user data persistence. Particularly challenging was implementing the car identification system, which randomly presents cars that have multiple 'identifying features' that must be recorded and used to determine the car's type.

Other aspects I worked on were audio design, UI design, 3D modelling (a lot of complex car models had to be optimized and modified for intractability!), in-game particle effects and environment design.
