Similarly, this research suggests that the results of such testing is quantifiably related to the expected performance of the technology in the physical world.\u0026nbsp; Thus research on the value of future systems whose hardware is not yet available, or who have interdependencies which must be resolved, may be conducted in advance of the physical components.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E----------------------------------\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EVirtual Meeting Details\u003C\/strong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u0026nbsp;Microsoft Teams meeting\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJoin on your computer, mobile app or room device\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/l\/meetup-join\/19%3ameeting_NWMzNzc4MmItZGZlZi00ZTQ1LTlmZTYtNGU1MWNmZDAzY2Y0%40thread.v2\/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22482198bb-ae7b-4b25-8b7a-6d7f32faa083%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22c6197ecd-ee21-441c-99da-eae262844484%22%7d\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EClick here to join the meeting\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMeeting ID: 254 950 794 778\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nPasscode: WNDAfZ\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/microsoft-teams\/download-app\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EDownload Teams\u003C\/a\u003E | \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/microsoft-teams\/join-a-meeting\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EJoin on the web\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/aka.ms\/JoinTeamsMeeting\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ELearn More\u003C\/a\u003E | \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/services.gatech.edu\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EHelp\u003C\/a\u003E | \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/teams.microsoft.com\/meetingOptions\/?organizerId=c6197ecd-ee21-441c-99da-eae262844484\u0026amp;tenantId=482198bb-ae7b-4b25-8b7a-6d7f32faa083\u0026amp;threadId=19_meeting_NWMzNzc4MmItZGZlZi00ZTQ1LTlmZTYtNGU1MWNmZDAzY2Y0@thread.v2\u0026amp;messageId=0\u0026amp;language=en-US\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EMeeting options\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Virtual Reality as a tool for Assessing Technology Interventions in Emergency Responder Contexts"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2023-02-27 18:08:39","changed_gmt":"2023-02-27 18:08:39","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2023-03-10T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2023-03-10T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2023-03-10T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2023-03-10 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2023-03-10 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2023-03-10 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
