Mercer, Warren, and Henderson County DVC


I am happy to announce that Nicole Krupkowski (Emergency Preparedness Assistant) has lead the way in Mercer, Warren, and Henderson Counties and completed an entire DVC setup within the gymnasium drop site at Public Health island.

In addition, Nicole and Molly Lamb (Emergency Response Coordinator at Illinois Department of Public Health) participated in a panel concerning usability in virtual worlds on CADE's 2020 Show on June 4th.

Here are links to some additional images and a video walkthrough of her setup.

"Rez All" Feature Upgrade


As of today, all aircraft containers used for H-Staging and D-Staging exercises have been upgraded to include "Rez All" functionality. The containers still activate on touch and the commands are listed in the User Interface Menu (blue menu in the upper right corner). The containers still allow you to remove one box at a time, but now include the "Rez All" option. By choosing "Rez All", the container will generate all of its contents into the picking area. The aircraft container can still be reset by touching it once more after all of the contents have been removed. As before, the contents must be manually deleted in order to remove them from the picking area.

Look for more upgrades to various exercise objects throughout the summer.
