About us

Good design is at the heart of every great product experience. It should be the extension of the person using a product, be effortless, and not require any mental energy. We have all used products that are clunky and take a lot of effort to use. That is why we incorporate Learning & Development (L&D) expertise to ensure that the learning experience is based on well-established theories, best practices, and learning objectives. We also incorporate User Experience (UX) expertise to make sure that the experience in VR can be easily learned and understood by people who have never experienced 3D content such as video games. We also do usability testing on our products very often to ensure that we catch any issues early in the process and design them out of the product. Good design is good business.

In building the world’s first platform to redefine education and training through complete immersion, let’s dive into the reasons behind our approach. Back in ’84, Benjamin Bloom, a renowned educator, revealed a game-changing insight—personalized education outperforms group lectures by a whopping 95%. That’s a game-changer. The catch at that time was the cost of personalization. Fast forward to today, AI is the game-changer, making Bloom’s dream a reality in an efficient way—courtesy of AI Cognitive Tutoring and Adaptive Learning Models.

TrainingLab was founded on this idea: the way we interact with AI should be as human as we are. In just the last few years AI has advanced by leaps and bounds, so why are we still interacting with it through a text box that feels out of the 90s? Why are we using technology that strips all the physical and aural nuances, the most human of aspects, from the interaction? It’s time to catch up. A better AI interaction demands a better interface.

TrainingLab places the user on a personal journey to improve their soft-skills, aiding and being aided by AI characters along the way. As the user progresses, they’ll meet and converse with a number of unique characters. Some characters will act as mentors, evaluating player behavior and responses. Others will be co-workers or friends needing help. Our advanced AI systems bring characters to life, meaning no two interactions will ever be identical, and also analyzes player responses, assessing how appropriate they are to the character and situation.

By placing the user in a virtual reality environment, and tracking their physical motion, we can incorporate non-verbal communication into the interaction. And by letting the user speak to the AI, we can remove unnecessary barriers to communication and capture the full range of user emotions. Adding subtle audio and haptic effects further immerses the user in the simulation. All these aspects combine to create a sense of presence in the user: they are in a real place, talking to a real person, solving real problems.

Make no mistake, none of this would be possible without our incredibly talented team of engineers, artists, and AI developers. Decades of experience in building VR training simulations, user interfaces, and data dashboards means they can focus on solving tough challenges and on incorporating the latest in fast moving AI tech back into TrainingLab.

In the end however, technology is only a tool. AI by itself does not solve problems or improve the human experience. AI alone is a distraction, and right now the market is full of distractions. TrainingLab takes a different approach, building upon rock-solid design and proven research to create a product that places humans, not AI, at the center of the user experience.
