Summary

Violent 3D games can help people to practice in fire. That program is cheaper and efficient compared to traditional virtual reality. When they are really in a fire, they may be safe, because 3D practice will help you to become familiar with construction of buildings, but even though virtual environment toolkits are set, they didn’t provide whole tools that make complete virtual worlds, because it requires higher programming skills, and more money and time. It is a very effective way to use computer game programming. Good things about these games are that they are strong and easy to spread. That program is also used for other people such as fire fighters. Game programs are used not just as violent programs but to train people in fire.

Reaction

This article is about the fact that violent 3D games can be a good model. They help people practice escaping from fire. I think that program is very good. It is a more efficient way to make new virtual environments, because if people make virtual environments, they need more time and the money. When they practice through virtual environments, even if people are really in a fire, the percentage of people that may die will be lower. They are familiar with the layout of the building and also remember where the exit is. The program is also used in other simulations such as lab accidents, making people know cooking safety, and helping those who are suffering from claustrophobia and arachnophobia.
