Emergency Preparedness Companies are combining the use of Second
Life and the (Nintendo) WiiMote to train employees on things such as:◦ Inspecting a house for moisture and heat sources◦ Mixing chemicals and loading them onto a truck◦ Power Plant training◦ Driving simulations
Using products like Google Maps and Google Earth, simulation can represent actual streets on-screen, so that not every trainee in America has to drive down the "same mythical Maple Street”.
Training modules include those intersections and locations where there is a history of accidents.
