Our team consists of experts with many decades of experience applying rich media and 3D interface technologies to the computer gaming, engineering, architectural design, television and motion picture, and IT training industries. Now, using computer game engines and Internet technologies pioneered by our team over the last 25 years, we are solving critical problems for large markets in a way that cannot be replicated except by other companies with our unique expertise. Members of the Ultisim team created the world’s first 3D computer adventure game, the first set of 3D Internet tools, one of the most successful game franchises in the world, and the architecture for the U.S. Department of Defense Virtual World Framework for training simulation. 

The benefits of moving to simulation-based training are significant, measurable, and well-documented:

Flexibility. Instead of being tied to a facility, training can take place anywhere, at any time.

Cost savings. For many types of training, students may not need to travel at all, but take the entire course of instruction at their office, base, or other home facility. For other types of training, travel time may be greatly reduced.

Better students. When in-person participation is required, students can arrive pre-trained (and certified as such). In-person training can then focus on the highest value subjects instead of teaching the basics.

Better graduates. The average knowledge retention rate from a lecture is only 5 percent. For a demonstration, this rises to 30 percent. For hands-on practice, the retention rate climbs to 75 percent—an improvement of 2.5 times over demonstrations and an amazing 15 times over a lecture.

Sustainment. With anytime, anywhere training, the same materials used before and during schooling will continue to be available to personnel after training is completed, providing an instant refresher course, available whenever and wherever it is needed.
