Features Envisioned for Further Versions:
Server Part

Role Planner Module:
All fire evacuation training participants will represent themselves in this virtual world. It means that they will have their own characters with the assigned job position. All users will be logically broken into 2 groups:
- office employees who need only to successfully perform the evacuation.
- people that are responsible for fire safety and that have to facilitate the evacuation of other employees in the building.
Office employees will also have different roles according to their job and position. Each role will have the assigned set of actions that are required to be performed during evacuation, e.g. accountant might have to take some papers, banker might have to close the safe before leaving the office, etc.
