Research Tools - Networked Fire Chief

We have developed a number of products and systems we use in our research. The two main data-gathering platforms are the Networked Fire Chief microworld software and the Head-Mounted Video system used for capturing events from the first-person perspective of the participant.

The supporting techniques for enhancing the data are the Two-Stage Cued Recall Debrief and the Video-Based Eye Tracking.

A purpose built usability / simulation laboratory has been designed for use when required.

Networked Fire Chief

   
Networked Fire Chief is a “microworld” (in the USA, “scaled world”) generating program which can be used to develop a range of forest fire fighting scenarios.

Over the last eight or so years we have run many large scale experiments using Networked Fire Chief. In this time we have been able to fully explore the programs flexibilty and have thus been able to use it to explore a range of theoretical issues in complex decision making.
