Many professionals such as fire fighters, emergency medical service workers, and police officers often have to respond to situations that are high risk and with very little time to respond. Such work environments can challenge workers’ situational awareness, and in some cases lead to fatal errors.  The recent media has highlighted several instances in which incorrect assessment of situations lead to fatal outcomes . In this project, students will contribute to answering the following broad research question: “How can we support the situational awareness of workers in high risk, low time scenarios?” This project develop a proof of concept showing how this can be implemented in practice.
