Alphatec provided a comprehensive framework for an effective and persuasive DCFEMS Outreach Communication Plan. The Capital Improvement Project consisted of a new Fleet Maintenance Facility and Logistics Warehouse for the DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services (DCFEMS). Our communications plan leveraged an immersive experience with DCFEMS team utilizing Extended Reality (XR) technologies, which encompassed Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), website and mobile device content, face-to-face engagement, and DCFEMS community presentations.
The demonstration took place at the existing DCFEMS maintenance facility, but with the help of VEGA, the team was able to explore their new campus virtually. Using a VR headset, Augmented Reality (AR) tabletop models, and a web-based 2D-to-3D viewer, DCFEMS experienced an immersive walkthrough of their upgraded facility.
