About the app

The application consists of two core modules. The first is informational – it provides educational materials, checklists, multimedia content, and guidelines for planning trips, preparing equipment, and offering first aid. The second module features interactive VR simulations that allow users to train in a virtual environment. Participants make real-time decisions and then receive feedback along with an educational summary.

RESCUER has been developed according to accessibility standards (WCAG) to ensure usability for seniors and individuals with different limitations. It includes algorithms for improving text readability and a color validation system for people with color vision deficiencies. This ensures that the content remains clear and understandable for a wide range of users.

By combining VR and metaverse elements, the application delivers immersive and engaging scenarios that enhance learning through experience. It also enables group communication and collaboration, reflecting real-life conditions of rescue operations. RESCUER not only raises awareness of mountain hazards but also helps users prepare for responsible and safe hiking in mountain areas.
