ProjectCenter for Emergency Preparedness Simulator The Owens Community College Center for Emergency Preparedness simulation (CEPsim) was started in the Fall of 2006. The project’s goal was to recreate the Owen’s facility in a 3-Dimensional computer world. Simular to the United States’ Army game America’s Army, the CEPsim works as a pre-trainer to the actual Owens facilities as well as a recruitment tool that can be downloaded by potential students. The proof of concept phase was funded by the Ohio Board of Regents and the Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University. Currently, the simulation consists of a virtual model of the five-story Burn Building located on the CEP campus. With the potential for further funding, the development team hopes to recreate the entire 110 acre facility in a computer generated immersive world. |
