Field Trials in fire fighting scenario – Postojna, Slovenia
Pilot testing of Beta prototype for electrotactile stimulation in relevant conditions for mountain rescue scenarios of interest
From March 24th until March 28th the pilot testing of Beta prototype for electrotactile stimulation was tested in Kopaonik, the biggest mountain resort in Serbia.

The aim was to test the electrotactile communication protocols defined in D7.8 with the Beta prototype electrode defined in D7.6 in relevant winter conditions.


Ten participants took part in the endeavour which comprised skiing in crowded tracks and uphill walking during the day and at night.

The results clearly indicate that the approach is feasible and does not pose a significant distraction in performing these activities.

Alpha prototype field trials in relevant conditions for mountain rescue scenarios of interest
Between 8th and 11th of March Alpha prototype was successfully tested in mountain conditions in Bormio, Italy. Nine partners gathered to take part in the field trials, including researchers from seven technological partners, Mountain Rescue Service of Serbia and Association of Mountain Rescue Organizations of B&H.
