VitaSim AUTHOR
VitaSim Author is a novel skill & knowledge authoring tool which allow users to create their own educational content in virtual reality (VR).
Choose the teaching environment from a selection of existing or create your own and customize it. Then add classic but now virtual teaching tools such as power point presentations, whiteboards, blackboards and smartboards.
Finally add specific, highly interactive equipment such as medical imaging devices, surgical tools, industrial equipment or heavy machinery. Rearrange all objects as you like.
Perform your lectures or skill demonstrations inside VR, without the need for physical equipment. The environment, objects, your speech, movements and interactions are automatically recorded.
Recordings can be exported as:
- 2D content usable in existing online, e-learning and other self-directed courses.
- 3D demonstrations where students can view a lecture or procedural demonstration from all angles inside VR.
- Interactive training tools where students can practice procedures or skills using realistic hands-on training in VR.
Afterwards use the content management system (CMS) to handle access to the created content.

Frequently asked questions
No. The tool can also be used by instructors, consultants, industrial experts and many others including large organisations where re- and up-skilling is relevant.
Not necessarily. Virtual reality should ideally be used as supplementary training or educational material. It is not our mission to remove the benefits linked to real hands-on skill training. However, research show that VR as supplementary training comes with great educational benefits both regarding quality and costs.

In theory: any topic and only the teachers imagination sets the limit. With that said we advice that users focus on practical skills, procedures, operation of machinery or equipment, and in general areas where the user needs to move around, use their hands, interact with objects, use their spatial senses or similar.
No. We have seen great use cases of virtual reality in many other areas, including mental health, complex theoretical concepts, memory enhancing techniques, etc.
We work closely with companies that focus on virtual reality experiences in other areas and look forward to launching them on our platform in the future.
Yes. VitaSim Author works great for the production of virtual lectures, podcasts, video demonstrations and even classic YouTube video series.
Any content created in VitaSim Author can be distributed as 2D videos (i.e. for online learning, YouTube, etc.), 3D demonstrations (accessible through virtual reality allowing the users to experience fully immersive skill and procedural demonstrations while walking around inside them) and as virtual reality based training rooms where the user can perform virtual but lifelike hands-on training.
