Overview

What is it?

FireSight is a mixed reality app that detects fires in real time and guides people to safety with spatial escape-route navigation overlaid on their environment — built for occupants and first responders who need clear, fast evacuation guidance in an emergency.

​

​

Current Status:

Developed as a competitive group project for XRCC 2026 (Extended Reality Creative Challenge),  technology with real-time fire physics for Meta quest 3 MR application. Created with teammates Asim Khan, Ronit Saha and Pratik Mane.

​

Core Features:

• Real-Time Fire Hazard Detection — Receives live fire-alert data and identifies danger within the environment.

• Dynamic Escape-Route Planning — Calculates the safest available route to the nearest exit.

• Mixed Reality Navigation — Overlays arrows, pathways, and spatial guidance directly onto the user’s real-world view.

• Low-Visibility Evacuation Support — Helps users navigate when smoke or poor visibility makes physical signs difficult to see.

• Spatially Anchored Guidance — Uses the MultiSet SDK to keep evacuation cues accurately positioned in the environment.

• NavMesh-Based Pathfinding — Generates navigable routes while accounting for walls, obstacles, and accessible areas.

• WebSocket Sensor Integration — Simulates real-time communication between fire sensors and the Meta Quest headset.

• Adaptive Route Updates — Can recalculate the evacuation path when hazards or safe routes change.

• Meta Quest 3 Support — Designed and tested as a mixed reality safety application for Quest 3.

• First-Responder Assistance — Supports faster navigation and decision-making for both occupants and emergency personnel.

​

Why It Matters:

FireSight matters because traditional exit signs can become difficult to see during smoke-filled emergencies. By delivering real-time, spatially anchored escape guidance, it helps occupants and first responders identify safer routes, react faster, and make critical evacuation decisions when every second counts.
