BELTSVILLE, MD, UNITED STATES, August 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Headwall is pleased to announce that our technology has been down selected from Phase 1 to Phase 2 and acknowledged as the Best-In-Class-VR Application in the NIST CommanDING Tech Challenge- Command Dashboard Integrating Next-Gen Technology Challenge for Public Safety.

About the NIST CommanDING Tech Challenge

Emergency situations are complicated, time-sensitive, and demanding events. An effective public safety response requires naming a commander, allocating resources, mapping the area of impact, tracking individuals and objects, identifying areas of concern, and more.

Through the CommanDING Tech Challenge, PSCR is hoping to improve the quality and usability of incident command dashboards. The challenge is looking to improve existing dashboards and also provides an opportunity for new entries into the field.

PSCR is looking for dashboards that improve public safety officials’ ability to respond to emergencies through effective user interfaces and user experiences, the ability to work with data input from sensors and video streams, and the ability to locate both stationary and mobile sensors in 3-D space.

This challenge will bring together first responders, video analytics professionals, public safety experts, and contestants to advance the quality and availability of Incident Command Dashboards for public safety.

"Headwall is honored to be selected to continue on in this challenge to help first responders with immersive technology. We cannot wait to begin working directly with public safety officials who need immersive command center capabilities" said Geoff Bund, Headwall CEO.
