We present a multi-user virtual reality (VR) setup that aims at providing novel training tools for paramedics that enhances current learning methods. The hardware setup consists of a two-user full-scale VR environment with head-mounted displays for two interactive trainees and one additional desktop pc for one trainer participant. The software provides a connected multi-user environment, showcasing a paramedic emergency simulation with focus on anaphylactic shock, a representative scenario for critical medical cases that happen too rare to eventually occur within a regular curricular term of vocational training. The prototype offers hands-on experience on multi-user VR in an applied scenario, generating discussion around current state and future development concerning three important research areas: (a) user navigation, (b) interaction, (c) level of visual abstraction, and (d) level of task abstraction.

Underlying semantics are important to facilitate traffic simulations in virtual environments. The work presented here introduces an universal and extensible model for the representation of road network logics. Additionally, setup processes of road network logics following the model are described, and the integration of different traffic simulation approaches is discussed. For evaluation, scenes according to different scenarios were created and semantics were integrated. Results indicate significant time savings from automatic generation of road network logics.

Multi-pass stereoscopic video rendering (MSVR) allows to present stereoscopic video streams within game engines on consumer graphics boards. We present our approach and discuss aspects of performance and occlusion of virtual objects.
