Yohan talks about the use of augmented reality (AR) in both emergency response and training environments. He explains how AR superimposes graphics onto the real world, allowing users to simulate or annotate information relevant to their specific location. AR technology offers a cost-effective solution for training, enabling realistic scenarios without the need for physical props.

Yohan also discusses the application of AR in real-time operations, where it can be integrated with drones to provide live views and enhance situational awareness. Currently, Yohan is piloting this innovative technology with fire and police departments, and is seeking funding to further develop the project.
