Challenge Description:
The goal of this challenge is to create a graphic that acts as a visual representation of a future challenge. The challenge will be about first responders using Virtual Reality tools for training purposes and testing advanced technologies that might help in first responder emergency scenarios.  Graphic designs showing first responders (police, firefighters, EMS, etc.) utilizing VR headsets with a futuristic feel are preferred.

We are looking for the [topcoder] design Community to help us with planning our new "user experience" (UX).

Notes:
- Images should be at least 1280 pixels wide x 720 pixels high no larger than 4000 pixels wide.
- Make sure you create graphic in 'shape' format, so when we resize graphics will still look sharp!
