Too Hard, Too Easy, Just Right: Performance-Driven Challenge Adaptation in Virtual Reality Firefighter Training

Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

TL;DR

ProACT keeps VR firefighter trainees at the right level of challenge by adapting the simulated fire to how they are performing.

Key contributions:

A global module that continuously adjusts scene-level fire spread dynamics in real time based on trainee performance.
A local module that periodically updates object-level flammability across the environment.
Improves both objective training performance and subjective user experience compared with existing adaptive and non-adaptive baselines.
