Project “Augmented Reality for Remote Biometric Monitoring and Rescue Operations in CBRN Situations” (VB02000036) is funded by the Ministry of the Interior and implemented within the framework of the Security Research Programme of the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic 2021–2026: Development, Testing, and Evaluation of New Security Technologies (SECTECH).

Project Objective

The aim of the project is to develop and implement a solution that combines a lightweight, modular augmented reality visor with sensors for vital signs and hazardous chemical detection. The system is primarily intended for CBRN and Fire Rescue Service (FRS) units, with the goal of enhancing the situational awareness of teams in real time — including information on health risks to team members, their individual locations, and the presence of hazardous substances at the intervention site.

Workshop – November 14, 2024

The second expert workshop, held on November 14, 2024, was primarily focused on the CBRN and Rapid Deployment Units of the Czech Armed Forces (AČR) but was also attended by other potential end-users from the Fire Rescue Service (HZS) and the Police Pyrotechnic Service (PČR).

During the workshop, three selected optical modules—potential candidates for integration into the final visor design—were presented and tested with users. Feedback and user preferences were carefully observed. The session also included a presentation and discussion of the current version of vital sign sensors and the prototype of their final design.
