- Abstract
Traditional campus safety education often relies on textual instructions and classroom lectures, which makes it difficult for students to translate abstract knowledge into appropriate actions in real emergency situations. Although virtual reality (VR) has been widely introduced into educational contexts, systematic methods for transforming safety curricula into interactive VR experiences remain limited. This study proposes a text-to-interaction transformation framework for K–12 fire safety education. Fire safety knowledge is decomposed into three hierarchical interaction events: Perception, Judgment, and Action (PDA). Based on this model, a prototype system named FireEscape-VR was developed using the Unity engine. Expert evaluation conducted with three experienced safety education teachers indicates that the PDA framework effectively translates abstract safety regulations into embodied interactive behaviors. The proposed approach provides a reusable design paradigm for developing VR-based safety training systems.
