| Session duration | 2 to 4 hours | 30 to 45 minutes |
| Possible frequency | 1 to 2 times per year | Unlimited |
| Logistics | Outer space, fuel | A helmet and a fire extinguisher |
| Weather dependence | Yes | No |
| Environmental impact | Emissions, waste | Zero |
| Variety scenarios | One (gas tank) | Unlimited |

With the FAST XR enhanced fire extinguishers, the gesture is identical to reality. Only the fire is virtual.
The learner repeats 10, 20, 50 times versus 1-2 attempts on a fire drill. It is repetition that anchors the reflex.
Office, kitchen, workshop, car park. With smoke, obstacles, people to evacuate. Much more realistic than a gas rig.
For 100 salaries, 2 sessions/year: Classic = ~€30,000 | FAST XR = ~3,000 EUR (Year 1) | Economy: €27,000 = ROI 900%. See the detailed ROI calculation
Regular training in VR/AR (Monthly) to maintain reflexes + annual exercise on a fire pit for the sensation of heat. The best of both worlds.
