Anders Winter info@vitasim.dk · www.vitasim.dk The history of VitaSim started on a shared car ride where Rune and Eskild discovered a mutual passion for improving education. Eskild was working with the control of robots using VR, and Rune was teaching clinical skills to medical students. Naturally, they discovered that VR had an impressive potential for teaching and training. 2D-videos captured by virtual cameras or as 3Drecordings which allow students to experience procedural demonstrations while walking around and watching from all angles, or even participating.

VitaSim Study allow users to access any content created in VitaSim Author, either through a web-browser or VR headset. Students can experience immersive lectures, hands-on demonstrations or practice using interactive training tools.

VitaSim Enterprise allow companies, institutions and organizations who produce or already own VR content to easily distribute, update and manage access to their content – all which can be done remotely through a web browser. Any content imported in VitaSim Enterprise can be accessed through VitaSim Study.

Together with Anders they founded VitaSim and set out on a journey to change the world of skill training. Today VitaSim no longer create educational content but instead provide a unique platform that empowers teachers to create VR-based content - all by themselves.
