METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VIRTUAL INCIDENT REPRESENTATION
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor and a memory, the processor configured to;
receive incident information related to a real world incident and directed toward a safety answering point, wherein the incident information comprises a plurality of information types; and
combine the incident information with a virtual representation of a portion of the real world associated with a location of the real world incident to provide thereby a virtual incident representation of the real world incident.

Abstract
A virtual incident representation capability is disclosed. The virtual incident representation capability is configured to represent a real world incident within a virtual world representation to provide thereby a virtual incident representation of the real world incident, which may be made available to people involved in the handling of the real world incident (e.g., operators at the safety answering point to which the real world incident is reported, responders in the field who have or will respond to the site of the real world incident, and the like). The virtual incident representation approximates the actual events of the real world incident in both space and time, and also may indicate the degree of certainty of at least a portion of the information included within the virtual incident representation. The virtual incident representation may be dynamic and interactive.
