VBSWorlds | Bohemia Interactive Simulations

VBSWorlds is the first major product launch from the Joint Venture created by Bohemia Interactive Simulations and Caspian Learning.

VBSWorlds is an agile new, groundbreaking theatre training platform that was designed and developed to solve major educational and training issues experienced by defence customers. It complements existing VBS2 training solutions.

VBSWorlds is the first of the VBS suite of products to fully support browser-based and IOS4 (iPad/iPhone) distribution. This means that a vast range of training simulations (anything from pre/post-deployment part task trainers to lessons learned tactics, techniques and procedure scenarios) can be created and redeployed by experts in the field within hours of the actual event taking place.

VBSWorlds’ easy to use authoring canvas gives operational experts in the field (not just programmers!) the power to edit existing scenarios and distribute them via standard internet browsers, standalone PCs or iPad and iPhone IOS4 devices.

Respond Faster

VBSWorlds is the world’s most rapid, theatre responsive 3D immersive training platform. It is a globally unique training authoring tool that allows personnel in the field to create or edit existing training material and simulations within hours of receiving the requirments.

What this means is that in less than 24 hours, all troops can have access to newly created 3D training that has been directly influenced by recent operational outcomes, designed specifically by personnel in the field (who don’t have to be programmers), thousands of miles away.

Newly upated training can then be distibuted worldwide, via a secure network for browser-based delivery or via mobile devices such as iPads and iPhones.

Cut Costs

VBSWorlds is a powerful 3D simulation & training authoring tool that is built with features specifically designed to improve your efficiency and reduce your costs. It has been designed using a combination of market-leading technologies from Bohemia Interactive Simulations and Caspian Learning with the specific goal of improving capability whilst reducing costs.

With VBSworlds you can:

Re-Use your existing VBS2 art assets
Subject matter experts (who don’t have to be programmers), can develop training rapidly by using the intuitive visual authoring canvas

Distribute Anywhere

Any piece of training you create with VBSWorlds can be exported to a number of different formats which allows widescale distribution. By using a simple export pipeline, you can create and then export your training for deployment on IOS4 (iPad/iPhone), Web Browsers (JAVA/Shockwave) and as an executable for standalone use.

No Programming Required

VBSWorlds’ visual authoring system has been designed to make it as easy as possible for not only accomplished programmers to use but also for non programmers too. Using a similar interface to existing visual authoring programmes, VBSWorlds is able to minimise the time required to learn the tool in order to create accomplished immersive training scenarios.

Theatre Responsive

VBSWorlds is the world’s most theatre responsive training platform that enables a far wider number of lessons to be turned into immersive 3D training and simulations. It can be used to create any kind of training from the development of familiarization training, technical and maintenance training all the way through to developing highly immersive lessons learned scenarios.

Rapid Authoring

VBSWorlds uses a visual authoring system that enables the creation and deployment of 3D simulations in just a few days regardless of location. Users can 'take lessons learned', share 'new enemy tactics' and 'prepare learners for a new environment' without scripting a line of code. Subject matter experts have already utilized this authoring system to self-sufficiently create content for their learners around the world.

Browser Enabled Delivery

An exciting feature of VBSWorlds is its ability to be delivered via an internet server; you can create and then export your training for deployment as an executable for standalone use. It conforms to standard security protocols, having been tested on the major IT systems utilized by the US Amy and US Air Force, Joint Forces Command and the UK MoD Systems.

Mobile

VBSWorlds has been optimized to enable the developed simulations to be delivered on windows, apple and android mobile devices. 3D fidelity is retained and the VBS2 content library can still be utilized. With VBSWorlds users now have access to a high fidelity 3D training environment anywhere in the world.

No Programming Required

VBSWorlds enables the creation of 3D training simulations without the need to create one line of script or code. A far wider audience can generate 3D simulations in VBSWorlds including trainers and instructional designers, all the way through to subject matter experts and experts in the field.

Re-Use Existing VBS2 Art Libraries

VBSWorlds has been built to enable the re-use of the vast content library of VBS2 terrain and 3D models that have now also been configured for browser and mobile delivery. The cost of art assets is minimal and customers gain additional capability from historic investments. You can import VBS2 terrain, objects and animations into VBSWorlds and make use of VBSWorlds’ unique, rapid authoring system to create training for wordwide distribution.
