From scrappy university experiments to working with hundreds of fire departments across North America. VR has become a "no-brainer" for firefighter and emergency training. youtu.be/2tnG6_cDgPc?si=L_Cw…

Today’s firefighters train for life-threatening scenarios like building collapses and rescues using Quest headsets. They simulate the pressure and realism minus the real danger, thanks to mixed reality. Source: @OshawaFire

I'm honoured to share that I’ve been appointed as a Principal Member to four @NFPA Technical Committees, where I’ll be contributing data and insight directly from the research and validation work we conduct at @CESAT_Official. As a non-profit research organization, CESAT operates its own independent facilities where we conduct destructive testing, gas detection, and emergency response evaluations focused on clean energy technologies. This gives us the ability to bring non-biased, real-world data into national code development. My appointments include: NFPA 461 – Spaceports (SPA-AAA): I’ll be contributing our findings on high-energy system behaviour and emergency modeling to help shape fire protection and life safety strategies for launch facilities—an area where clean energy and aerospace risks intersect. NFPA 1033 – Fire Investigator Professional Qualifications (PQU-FIV): I’ll be applying data from actual lithium-ion and hydrogen incidents we’ve tested to help ensure fire investigators are prepared for the modern hazards they’re now encountering. NFPA 790/791 – Electrical Equipment Evaluation (EEE-AAA): Our hands-on experience evaluating advanced and unlisted clean energy systems will support more informed, safety-focused evaluation protocols for the next generation of electrical infrastructure. NFPA 88A – Garages and Parking Structures (GAR-AAA): I’ll be bringing field data and suppression testing results from EV-related fire events in enclosed spaces—particularly addressing thermal runaway, gas buildup, and system failure risks in modern parking structures. I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this work and collaborate with professionals across disciplines who are committed to evolving our safety standards to meet today’s challenges. #NFPA #CleanEnergy #PublicSafety #EmergencyResponse #EVSafety #FireInvestigation #Spaceports #CESAT #FireProtection #BatterySafety – at Ontario, Canada

You plan to clean inside the #cottage this long weekend—but what about up top? Dry leaves and debris in your gutters and roof can fuel a fire. Clear them out to stay fire-safe and avoid water damage. One simple chore. Big protection. #CottageCore #VictoriaDay #LongWeekend

VR fixes both. A virtual flat screen, and a virtual education.
This line from @pmarca is amazing and scary... "We are heading into a world where a flat screen TV that covers your entire wall costs $100, and a four year college degree costs $1 million, and nobody has anything even resembling a proposal on how to fix this."

I'm curious... think back to the last 6-12 months. What convinced you to start listening to a new podcast regularly--like, it's part of your routine, the same way others listen to the news in the morning? #podcastlife @libsyn #boardgames #tabletopgaming

Do you know about our lab? 🍷This is me shopping in #VR at the @LCBO in #stcatharines in our new #wine #consumer #lab. See our prototype wine glasses to drink in VR environments? @BrockUniversity @Brock_LINC @CCOVIBrockU @GoodmanSchool #VirtualReality #AugmentedReality @XpertVR

VR is about relocating presence. Galileo took us closer to the moon w the telescope. The phone brought someone's voice next to our ear. But VR is taking us to a location that's not on earth. It's in the space of human imagination, now buildable, shareable & strangely persistent.

The Lynx R1 is a serious competitor to Project Cambria. Check out this impressive mixed reality demo that I got to try at their headquarters in France. It shows that the marriage between VR and AR is almost here!

This is going to be a big deal. AR and VR converging quickly.
Mark Zuckerberg just shared a first look at what mixed reality experiences will be like on Project Cambria, our high-end VR headset coming out later this year. Learn more 👉 facebook.com/zuck/posts/pfbi…
