1. A back-end system for public safety emergency response, also referred to as the back-end part of a public safety emergency response system,
wherein said back-end system for public safety emergency response is configured to handle network communication to and/or from multiple information sources for gathering emergency response information from said information sources, including at least audio and/or video data related to an emergency and/or security situation and additional emergency response information,
wherein said back-end system for public safety emergency response is configured to extract subsets of information from said emergency response information at least partly based on input originating from one or more users and/or operators,
wherein said back-end system for public safety emergency response is configured to perform processing of said emergency response information to enable formation of a common overview of the emergency and/or security situation valid for different users/operators and configured to perform processing to enable formation of a virtual working area where users and/or operators are able to cooperate and interact in real time or near real time to handle a common emergency situation or a common security situation,
wherein said back-end system for public safety emergency response is further configured to perform processing of said emergency response information to support at least two types of visualization; a first type of visualization using input from external sensors and cameras for rendering and visualization of the emergency situation, and a second type of visualization for visualization of users/operators in said virtual working area to allow natural interaction and communication even though the users/operators are not co-located, and
wherein said second type of visualization is configured for visualizing the interacting users/operators based on camera scanning of the users/operators and transferring video/image information and 3D data of each scanned user/operator into a virtual reality environment in which the users/operators may interact in the same virtual location.
