Plasm@, is a platform for management, creation and use of simulations in the professional field. A tool consisting of methods, procedures and techniques that allow the user to experiment, create and access situations and scenarios programmed in real and virtual environments simulated.

Plasm@, will be develop under the strictest specifications and recommendations of the competent organizations and thinking processes of change and technological innovation.

It is the perfect tool for training and advanced training online in the security sector.

Basic Features



24

Plasm@ is designed to support processes focusing on usage scenarios and simulated experiences based on protocols of intervention or action and tasks.

It also will include the following features:

Create tailored simulations to different environments and scenarios in real time.

Personalization and customization of characters, actors, avatars, interactive tools and physical prototypes.

Process-oriented programming, or work-flow protocol specific work. Permanent interaction between characters and the system through tasks, questions and answers, etc..

Constant monitoring and evaluation to verify the degree or level of advancement, learning and understanding the system.

Ongoing supervision by a tutor of the exercises, tests and phases of the learning process.

The user can interact at several levels: on the physical environment, on the characters and through the decisions is taking.

The platform administrator can configure different simulations using the platform tools.

The development of the simulation is done through a management application tool where the administrator can configure the following:

Scenarios :Choose between different scenarios in which to place the simulation.

Public places, private places, etc…

Archetypes : Choose from a number of archetypes or characters who will participate in the simulation.

Operations



29

Environment Variables: Select on a list and include environmental or environment variables that may affect other elements of the simulation and therefore the results in each decision-making. (temperature, housing, voltage level, etc.).

The administrator can assign a value to quantify the impact between the different elements included in the simulation. (Impact value)

Situations: Enter the various issues or approaches that should resolve the student in different situations throughout the simulation.

These may be of several types: When to propose actions related to the physical environment

When to give us information of the characters Raised by the simulator situations that lead to a direct response or decision making

Operations



30

The simulations will be performed on an 3D interface that recreates the setting and characters.

The interaction will take place showing a series of cards describing the possible decisions to make in every situation, covering the dependency tree developed for the simulation.

In this scenario we will receive information about the environment and the characters visually and soundly.
