IRVINE, CA — September 17, 2025 — EON Reality, the global leader in Artificial Intelligence-powered augmented and virtual reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education,  today announced the launch of its Public Safety Platform, a comprehensive Spatial AI solution designed to address the critical training gap facing America’s first responders. The integrated platform combines Extended Reality (XR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tackle public safety’s dual crisis: unprecedented demands for accountability and transparency while preparing for increasingly complex threats ranging from active shooter events to large-scale natural disasters. As detailed in its new white paper, “Preparing for the Unpredictable: Spatial AI Training for America’s First Responders,” the platform equips the first responders industry with the scalable workforce solutions needed to sustain global commerce in an era of rising demand and uncertainty.

Why: The Dual Crisis Challenging Modern Public Safety

America’s public safety agencies face an unprecedented convergence of challenges that traditional training methods cannot adequately address:

1. De-escalation and Accountability Imperative: Public demands for greater transparency and reduced use-of-force incidents require officers to master communication skills that traditional role-playing exercises cannot effectively teach or verify.
2. Multi-Agency Coordination Failures: Mass casualty incidents, complex wildfires, and terrorist attacks require seamless coordination between police, fire, and EMS agencies with different communication systems and operational cultures, yet realistic large-scale drills are logistically prohibitive.
3. Stress-Induced Performance Degradation: The intense psychological stress of crisis situations degrades cognitive function and motor skills, creating a dangerous “knowing-doing gap” where first responders cannot execute procedures they know under extreme pressure.
4. Training Accountability and Liability Costs: Inadequate training leads to use-of-force lawsuits costing cities millions annually, while officer burnout from feeling unprepared drives expensive turnover and recruitment costs.

“Agency leaders are tasked with preparing their personnel for the most difficult situations imaginable, all while under intense public scrutiny,” said Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality. “Traditional training methods have reached their limits—classroom lectures cannot replicate psychological stress, and conducting full-scale multi-agency drills is prohibitively expensive.”

What: Comprehensive Public Safety Training Ecosystem

EON Reality’s Public Safety Platform delivers four integrated solutions that directly address modern first responder challenges:

1. AI-Powered De-escalation & Communication Simulators

• Dynamic Conversation Training: EON SoftSkills enables realistic, unscripted conversations with photorealistic AI-powered avatars
• Diverse Scenario Library: Avatars portray subjects with mental illness, domestic dispute participants, sovereign citizens, and other challenging encounters
• Objective Performance Analysis: AI analyzes tone of voice and word choice, providing data-driven feedback on communication effectiveness
• Safe-to-Fail Environment: Unlimited practice opportunities without risk to officers or community members

2. Virtual Incident Command for Multi-Agency Crises

• Shared Command Centers: EON Spatial Meetings enable police, fire, and EMS commanders to train together from separate locations
• Dynamic Crisis Scenarios: 3D digital twins of cities with real-time emergency situations requiring coordinated response
• Unified Command Practice: Cost-effective, frequent training for complex multi-agency coordination without logistical nightmares
• Strategic Decision Making: Practice resource allocation and coordination under realistic time pressures

3. High-Stress Procedural & Tactical Simulators

• Stress Inoculation Training: EON Skill Simulators induce psychological stress while practicing critical procedures
• Realistic Environmental Stressors: Shaking ambulance simulators with flashing lights and sirens for medical training
• Split-Second Decision Making: Shoot/don’t-shoot scenarios with ambiguous contexts and unclear threats
• Performance Under Pressure: Build resilience for flawless execution when stakes are highest

4. Verifiable Training & Accountability Platform

• Complete Performance Recording: EON Data Flywheel captures every action and decision made within simulations
• Objective Competency Documentation: Unbiased records of individual performance for legal and community accountability
• Targeted Remedial Training: Data-driven identification of skill gaps requiring additional focus
• Transparency Tools: Powerful evidence of quality training for city councils and community groups

How: Strategic Four-Phase Implementation for Maximum Impact

The Public Safety Platform deploys through a prioritized approach addressing the most acute areas of risk and public concern first:

Phase 1: De-escalation & Crisis Intervention Training (Priority 1)

• Focus: Improving officer communication skills and reducing use-of-force incidents
• Deployment: EON SoftSkills simulators for all sworn personnel with community-facing roles
• Impact: Immediate, visible improvement in community relations and liability reduction

Phase 2: Multi-Agency Incident Command (Priority 1)

• Focus: Preparing leadership for mass casualty and complex emergency scenarios
• Deployment: Virtual command centers connecting police, fire, and EMS leadership
• Impact: Enhanced community resilience and coordinated response capabilities

Phase 3: High-Stress Medical & Tactical Proficiency (Priority 2)

• Focus: Inoculating first responders against performance degradation under stress
• Deployment: Stress simulation training for patrol officers, tactical teams, and paramedics
• Impact: Reduced critical errors and enhanced effectiveness in field operations

Phase 4: Supervisory & Leadership Development (Priority 2)

• Focus: Training next-generation public safety leaders
• Deployment: Leadership scenario training for sergeants, lieutenants, and captains
• Impact: Stronger organizational culture and improved internal affairs capabilities

Transformation Comparison: Before vs. After Implementation
