New software from FLAIM release focuses on maritime fire training

FLAIM has announced its latest software update for Workplace Safety – Fire (WSF)

The update, known as the R2 2024 Release, includes new features and scenarios designed to enhance fire safety training.

This update is available to FLAIM WSF V3 customers with active subscriptions.

The new release introduces five scenarios aimed specifically at maritime fire safety.

These scenarios cover various fire hazards, including naval engine room oil fires, electrical fires, bunkhouse fires, corridor electrical fires, and galley oven fires.

These scenarios aim to provide more realistic and targeted training environments for maritime personnel.

New training mode and autoplay feature

The 2024 release introduces a new Training Mode feature designed to help trainers streamline the training process.

Trainers can assign specific playlists to a system, and when Training Mode is activated, only the relevant scenarios will appear for trainees.

This reduces distractions and allows trainees to focus on the appropriate exercises.

A Capture account is required to assign playlists.

Autoplay has also been added as a new feature in this release.

This function ensures that trainees can only access the first scenario on their playlist, returning to the lobby after each scenario is completed.

The playlist automatically restarts for the next trainee once all scenarios have been completed.

Safety boundary enhances virtual training

A key feature of the new release is the Safety Boundary, aimed at improving the physical safety of trainees during virtual reality training.

The Safety Boundary feature creates a virtual barrier within the headset, ensuring that trainees remain within a designated space during training.

If a trainee crosses this boundary, they are automatically removed from the virtual world and can see their physical surroundings.

This feature helps prevent physical hazards by ensuring trainees stay within the safe training area.

Updating the software

FLAIM customers with active subscriptions will receive a notification about the software update the next time they use their headset.

The software update can be followed directly through the headset interface, with instructions provided.

This software update is only available to customers with an active subscription.

Those with expired subscriptions are encouraged to reactivate their accounts to gain access to the new features.

Further inquiries can be directed to FLAIM at [email protected].
