MiTAC "VR Disaster Experience Vehicle," leveraging the popular metaverse concept, employs sophisticated simulation technology to replicate disaster scenarios. This enhances the realism of disaster preparedness experiences by integrating an all-in-one, wearable VR headset and a specialized immersive VR platform. Beyond visual fidelity, it incorporates lifelike movements, scents, and a multifaceted sensory experience. The three immersive disaster preparedness games allow participants to don VR equipment, situate themselves within the dynamic VR platform, and virtually immerse in disaster scenarios. While seated, the dynamic simulation includes shaking vibrations and the release of misty water, providing participants with a convincing sense of being present in situations like earthquakes, mountain accidents, flash floods, and other disaster scenes. The immersive experience allows participants to feel the tension of being a victim and the adrenaline-fueled moments of playing the role of a daring rescuer.

Situated along the circum-Pacific seismic belt, Taiwan, and particularly Hualien County, frequently contends with the ominous threats of typhoons, earthquakes, and torrential rains. To elevate the disaster preparedness mindset among its residents and fortify their coping knowledge, addressing the sudden onset of natural disasters and various perilous situations stands as one of the paramount governance undertakings for the county. Given Hualien's expansive territory coupled with its elongated north-south topography, disseminating disaster preparedness knowledge to every remote settlement poses a considerable challenge. Collaborating with ShenYao Technology, the Hualien Fire Department employs cutting-edge AI technology to inaugurate Taiwan's inaugural VR Disaster Experience Vehicle, thereby ushering in a pioneering force for intelligent disaster preparedness in Hualien.

The cabin of the "VR Disaster Experience Vehicle" is crafted at the production base of MiTAC, the Longtan Factory. Endowed with diverse experiences in the modification of specialized mobile vehicles, the Longtan Factory has obtained professional certifications for cabin construction both domestically and internationally. The VR Disaster Experience Vehicle's framework adopts an aluminum alloy structure, embodying a design that is both robust and lightweight. With meticulous internal space optimization, it achieves goals of energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and low noise. A compact LED display screen on the driver's side serves promotional purposes for experiential activities, while an outdoor, large-scale LED display screen on the co-driver's side fulfills multiple roles, including the dissemination of disaster prevention videos. The VR Disaster Experience Vehicle boasts comprehensive functionality, high efficiency, and maneuverability, effectively contributing to the widespread promotion of intelligent disaster prevention.

Director Wang Qi of the Intelligent Electromechanical Systems Division at MiTAC Advance expressed, "ShenYao Technology is honored to leverage our expertise in AI technology, cabin construction, and the integration of hardware and software. We are committed to assisting the Hualien County government in extending the reach of disaster preparedness knowledge into remote areas. This enables residents to embody disaster preparedness principles through the latest technology and equipment, thereby minimizing the loss of life and property."

Smart disaster prevention is the future trend, relying on the collaboration of local governments with private entities to enhance the capabilities of disaster prevention, resilience, and response. MiTAC possesses extensive experience in intelligent disaster prevention, employing big data and AI technology to assess safety indicators, anticipate the likelihood of disasters, and provide post-disaster health assessments and regular health check reports. Timely notification and preparedness measures are implemented to prevent financial losses and unforeseen accidents. The aspiration is to extend these practices to more local governments across counties and cities, actively implementing the application of smart technology to safeguard Taiwan.
