Abstract
A training simulator including a housing having a prop portion configured to simulate or evoke an appearance of an object encountered in firefighting activity. The simulator has a sensation emitter coupled to the housing and configured to emit a sensation to simulate or evoke an appearance of a hazardous condition. The simulator further includes a sensor coupled to the housing and configured to detect a simulated or an actual hazardous condition suppressant directed at or applied to the housing, and a controller operatively coupled to the sensor and the sensation emitter.
Claims19
A training simulator comprising:
- a housing including a prop portion configured to simulate or evoke an appearance of an object encountered in firefighting activity;
- a sensation emitter coupled to said housing and configured to emit a sensation to simulate or evoke an appearance of a hazardous condition;
- a sensor coupled to said housing and configured to detect a simulated or an actual hazardous condition suppressant directed at or applied to the housing;
- and
- a controller operatively coupled to the sensor and the sensation emitter.
A training simulator comprising:
- a prop housing configured to simulate or evoke an appearance of an object encountered in firefighting activity;
- a sensation emitter coupled to said prop housing and configured to emit a sensation to simulate or evoke a hazardous condition;
- a sensor coupled to said prop housing and configured to detect a simulated or an actual hazardous condition suppressant directed at or applied to the prop housing;
- and
- a controller operatively coupled to the sensor and the sensation emitter.
A method for using a training simulator comprising:
- accessing a training simulator including a housing having a prop portion configured to simulate or evoke an appearance of an object encountered in firefighting activity, a sensation emitter coupled to said housing, a sensor coupled to said housing and a controller operatively coupled to the sensor and the sensation emitter;
- causing said sensation emitter to emit a sensation to simulate or evoke an appearance of a hazardous condition;
- and
- said sensor detecting a simulated or an actual hazardous condition suppressant directed at or applied to the housing.
