Train with virtual fires in any real workplace

That is now possible—safely, responsibly, and without ever needing to light a real flame. A new era in fire extinguisher training is about to begin, powered by Mixed Reality.

Fire extinguisher simulation in Mixed Reality

Ludus, the leading company in Virtual Reality applied to health and safety training, is introducing an innovative training scenario that uses Mixed Reality (AR) to bring fire safety closer to reality than ever before. With this solution:

• Fires can be simulated in real environments, transforming an office, factory floor, or warehouse into a training ground.
• Different types of extinguishers are available for practice, ensuring employees learn the right tool for the right situation.
• Virtual accidents can be introduced to raise awareness, reinforcing the importance of prevention and quick response.

This is not just theory. It’s hands-on, practical learning in the same spaces where employees face potential risks every day.

More realistic and effective training

Traditional training often takes place in controlled, artificial settings. With AR simulation, however, learners face fire emergencies in their actual working environment. They choose the correct extinguisher, aim, and act—while the fire itself is virtual and realistic.

The result? Training becomes more immersive, engaging, and significantly more effective.

Greater engagement and motivation

Engagement is a crucial factor in health and safety learning. When employees practise in their own workplace, with their own equipment, the experience feels personal and meaningful.

This heightened realism creates a strong emotional impact, boosting motivation and ensuring knowledge sticks.

Customised training for every organisation

Every workplace is different, and so must be every training session. With AR fire extinguisher simulation, companies can integrate their real environment, branding, and equipment into the training process.

This customisation strengthens the connection between learning and daily routines, creating a powerful bridge between simulation and reality.

Stronger knowledge transfer

By training in the exact spaces employees use daily, the leap from theory to practice disappears. Workers gain confidence in applying what they’ve learned, and knowledge transfer into real-life situations becomes seamless.

Real-time feedback and collaboration

Another advantage of AR-based fire extinguisher training is its interactivity. Trainers and colleagues can observe and guide the trainee live, providing immediate evaluation and constructive feedback. 

As it is not a 100% simulated environment, the learner can see and hear the trainer’s instructions while facing the virtual fire.

This real-time communication enhances skill development and builds confidence in critical safety procedures.

Easier technology adoption

For some employees, stepping into a fully virtual environment can feel daunting, especially if they have no experience with this technology. Mixed Reality removes that barrier. Training happens in the real world, with familiar surroundings and real physical movement.

This makes AR fire extinguisher training an ideal first step for organisations looking to adopt immersive technologies in health and safety.

With Ludus, organisations can take fire safety training to the next level: digital, immersive, and powered by real data.

Train realistically what matters most, where it truly matters: in any real-world workplace.
