Abstract
Disaster preparedness is an important factor that plays a major role in diminishing the casualties in case of any disasters. Training people in society has an important role in facing situations of crisis. Information on procedures to be followed, rules to be obeyed, and actions to be taken and avoided in critical situations are available, but most people are unaware of these procedures and have no prior knowledge to navigate through this safely. Now, to be able to act properly in these situations, society as a whole have to be trained and equipped with advanced technological equipment, and to do so, a huge investment in training equipment development is required. So, in this project, we are planning to use augmented reality (AR) technology to help people get the necessary information and training to navigate the situation. We plan on doing so by creating an application that includes scenarios regarding the evacuation in a disastrous event. The general task of this application is to provide appropriate views based on the underlying scenario and use artifacts that would be used at such times.
