School safety is a top priority in today’s society. So many precautions have been taken for the safety of our students. Gazelle’s web/DVD based VR program (IFNS) is an additional tool of defense against domestic and foreign terrorism in America’s schools. Utilizing state of the art, high resolution 360° panoramic digital imaging capture, Gazelle produces an immersive virtual reality "floor plan" of any facility. The user friendly interface allows the viewer to look left/right, up/down, and to zoom in/out on objects. Relying on old blue prints or drawn sketches in an emergency response situation is very unreliable. Gazelle technologies enable you to take a virtual tour of any building, allowing your team members to "pre-visualize" the operational environment giving you a greater awareness of possible hazards that lurk "behind that door." As part of your comprehensive preparedness planning, a complete library of DVDs or SQL databases with virtual floor plans of high risk facilities in your area could be prepared. Any high risk "target" facility including schools, jails or prisons, court houses, abortion clinics, municipal buildings, airports, nuclear facilities, transit stations, embassies and consulates, malls and shopping centers, banks and financial facilities could be surveyed in advanced using Gazelle technologies. Beyond briefing emergency response teams to the unknown physical environment through the use of virtual floor plans, Gazelle technologies have the capabilities to insert, in the DVD drive or access through a secureweb browser, high resolution still images of critical alarm panels, light switches, circuit breakers and control valves that may require enabling/disabling.
