xR4DRAMA: Enhancing situation awareness using immersive (XR) technologies

In this paper we describe the xR4DRAMA system, a solution that makes use of XR capabilities to support professionals who deal with disasters, man-made crises or media productions. The key contribution of this work in progress is the increase of situation awareness, which is achieved by the innovative combination of data collection, multimedia and sensor analysis, linking data, GIS and interactive XR technologies. The proposed platform is designed to facilitate the creation of immersive environments using semantically enriched content and comprises a powerful tool that is applicable to multiple real use case scenarios.
