Fire Science
We're breaking out of the 2D modality with fire models by delivering a platform for visualizing 3D fire models. Currently, we are focused on the QUIC Fire 3D fire model with 1 meter resolution. We plan to connect our platform to many other models and services to provide a comprehensive analysis for fire scientists when understanding fire behavior.
Fire Managment and Planning
Quickly compare fire simulations to inform burn strategies and enhance emergency preparedness.
Training
Put beyond the 2D Desktop applications we are also building Virtual Reality (VR) applications to view the data and interact in a life-scale version of the data. We can put a burn crew in a VR environment, start a drip torch and see the result. We are also creating interactions in the platforms for understanding training tools - such as a drip torch and being able to go to exploded views to see all the parts, as well as training a user on the assembly and disassembly of tools.
Community Outreach
Make complex fire dynamics digestible and impactful using visual effects layers - we want to help the community understand WHY we need more prescribed fires.
Developed in collaboration with the Energy and Natural Resources Security Group (EES-16), Earth and Environmental Sciences Division at Los Alamos National Labs, the FireVista™ platform was designed to bring the science of wildfire research into the hands of fire scientists, managers, planners, trainers, and community leaders.
Working under a TRGR SciVista, Inc. is working to commercialize the QUIC Fire application developed by LANL that produces high-fidelity 3D fire modeling data, we create custom readers and visualizers for that data so that users can interact and collaborate together to understand how to plan prescribed fires.
FireVista™ is purely data driven, there are no artist created terrains or placed fuels. Use true voxel format or flip on visual effect layers to customize each burn for your use case and audience.
The FireVista™ platform supports QUIC Fire and Fast Fuels, with ongoing work to integrate additional fire, wind, and fuel models along with geo spatial layers, bringing wholistic approach to data driven decision making. We plan to incorporate GIS (Cesium / ARC GIS) services as well as models like Wind Ninja, Behave Plus, and more!
