Contemporary Visualization: Contemporary Visualization and Extended Reality Approaches to Hazard Preparedness and in-situ Emergency & Rescue Response – Current state of user-centered technology, automation and AI Location: A-119 Lecture Hall Chair: Arzu Çöltekin Both sessions will cover visualization and extended (i.e., virtual, augmented or mixed) reality-related research and applications about conference themes (i.e., these presentations and discussions will be directed at work that intersects the common phases of crisis management) and specifically touch upon user-centred technologies (user experience, empirical studies) as well as the latest technology and science breakthroughs in the automation of visualization and 3D modelling and other related processes through, e.g., generative AI and other solutions. Contemporary Visualization and Extended Reality Approaches to Hazard Preparedness and in-situ Emergency & Rescue Response – Current state of user-centered technology, automation and AI Introduction to a Voxel-based Urban Digital Twin for Emergency Response Information Systems (ERISs) User Experience with Geodashboards Visualizing Preparedness and Response to Natural Hazards Designing AR Viewer for QField: Towards Supporting Handling Geospatial Data In Situ For Emergency Response Situations Does Extended Reality Work for Skills Training? |

1. Presentations
2. Interactive Game: Forecasting rare events with generative human AI It is 11:45 am in Bern, Switzerland, and the International Committee on Unforeseen Risks is about to convene. Their latest session intends to prepare humanity for what is yet to come. RIMMA, the generative AI system built to forecast catastrophic outcomes, is opening the meeting with its latest assessment report. "Preparedness is key to mitigating the impacts of rare but catastrophic events. Here is a list of the top 10 unforeseen catastropheeeees that atataatat….“. What happened? A power outage struck the building, and now the committee is left to resort to their human intelligence to prepare a list they can present to the head of state within 45 minutes.
We all become imagineers in this slot and play a collaborative game to forecast rare events! Join us for an interactive...
