Abstract

In this paper we present our approach of using game-like techniques for designing wearable computing solutions for the Paris Fire Brigade, consisting of namely a board game and a virtual environment for collaborative prototyping during simulated interventions. We provide first results on the approach.s benefits and difficulties.
