Medical and Safety Simulators
Our medical and safety simulators offer immersive training experiences that may be in limited supply or that have a high failure rate.

Identify Friend or Foe
The Optical Radiation Bioeffects Branch in the 711th HPW challenged the GRILL® to create a simulation that studies reaction time while wearing laser eye protection goggles.
Using Unreal Engine 4, CMUSphinx, Oculus Rift, and Logitech Extreme 3D joystick, the students created a flight simulation which you must navigate under the effects of different laser eye protection goggles.
Pollution Damage Simulator
NASIC challenged the GRILL to create a simulation that accurately visualizes the movement of vehicle emission particles over time. The analysis of emission particle concentrations could significantly enhance US safety.
Using Unreal Engine 5 and the Niagara Particle System the students created a simulation to enhance understanding of pollution accumulation and accurately predict emission particle concentrations at any location.
Teams in Danger
Dr. Summer Rebensky with Aptima challenged the GRILL to make a realistic multiplayer search and rescue simulation for conducting research on teams and team interactions.
Using Unreal Engine 4, VaRest, and Mixamo, the students created a collapsed building scenario simulation.
Virtual Medical Kit
Lt. Col, Theresa Bedford and Lt. Col. Owen Scott from the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine challenged the GRILL to create mobile app that helps in training of future combat medics.
Using Unreal Engine 4, Blender, and Photogrammetry, the students created a trainer to accurately display the intricacies of the med kit and to quiz the users about their med kit knowledge in a cheap easily deployable environment.
VR Trauma Trainer
Wright Scholars in the GRILL's Summer STEM program developed a program to help train doctors to do rapid ultrasound exam for traumatic patients.
The simulation was made with virtual reality and the Unreal Engine. The team used an HTC Vive Pro, Blender, and UE4 to create a testing environment with working organ animations.
