About Us
SimInsights’ mission is to democratize the creation of 3D, interactive, immersive and intelligent (I^3) simulations. We believe that simulations are the most impactful way to learn, yet few people can actually leverage it as a creative medium. SimInsights is striving to enable everyone to capture their knowledge in the form of 3D immersive, AI-powered simulations and share it with others.
SimInsights provides AR/VR/AI cloud based SaaS software and services to enable enterprise customers to transform their training and operations from traditional to immersive (VR/AR) and from static to interactive and personalized (AI-powered). Embracing VR/AR/AI as part of digital transformation delivers ROI, and boosts human engagement, reskilling and upskilling. Many companies are hiring game engine programmers to create training content which is proven to be slow, expensive and risky. In contrast, our software – HyperSkill – enables the clients’ existing instructional designers and subject matter experts to author-publish-evaluate 3D immersive, interactive and intelligent (III) content. By avoiding the need to hire game engine developers and 3D artists, clients can cut cost, risk and time to value by 10 to 100 times. We have completed successful deployments with many customers in manufacturing, healthcare and higher-education. To learn more, please contact us.
