Virtual Reality Training of Law Enforcement Officers in Predicting Terroristic Attacks Indicators

Serious games have been recently proposed as an effective way for training security professionals in cyber and physical security processes. Nevertheless, state of the art games focus on rather simple security processes and provide poor user interfaces. This paper introduces a novel serious game for training security professionals in predicting potentially suspicious activities. The game incorporates background knowledge about terroristic attacks, along with intelligence modules based on machine learning. Most importantly, it aims at being pleasant, ergonomic, and interesting to use, leveraging Virtual Reality (VR) interfaces.
