Method and apparatus are presented for an augmented reality-based firefighter training
system. The system includes hardware for motion tracking, display, and vari-nozzle
instrumentation. System software includes a real-time fire model, a layered smoke
obscuration model, simulation of an extinguishing agent, and an interface to a zone fire
model. Physical modeling and graphical elements in the software combine to create realistic-
looking fire, smoke, and extinguishing graphics. The hardware and software components …
