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 was held at DCFEMS existing maintenance facility, however through the use of VEGA the DCFEMS facility team was able to explore their new campus firsthand by walking around their new space using a VR headset, exploring tabletop digital models with AR, and bringing the 2D plans to life with the web-based model.
