A division of Applied Research Associates (ARA), Virtual Heroes designs, develops, and deploys high-fidelity simulations that blend the best of training development, advanced modeling, and serious gaming technology to create fully immersive experiences.
Odds are, if you’re reading this you lead teams that respond to “the extremes” — the incredibly complex, risky situations that aren’t just about success-or-failure, but potentially life-or-death. Like replacing spent fuel rods in a nuclear reactor. Keeping mission-critical systems online. Triaging and treating the wounded in a mass casualty event. In those scenarios, when everything’s on the line, training that “seems good enough” simply won’t do.
At Virtual Heroes, we help you take preparation to an entirely new level through:

We deploy simulations anywhere, anytime, anyplace — and on virtually any device. Pick the platforms that give your team the best combination of power and convenience, and we’ll tailor a solution to fit them:
Our clients often come to Virtual Heroes with a specific need — they need a sophisticated terrain modeled, a complicated process simulated, or a multipart, multiplatform training initiative produced. Once we begin working together, they quickly realize everything they can capitalize on:
We don’t take the client trust we’ve earned lightly. And the stats bear it out.

Since no two real-life scenarios are ever precisely the same, no two training simulations should be, either. That’s why at Virtual Heroes, we engineer and deliver highly customized training programs for every client. We’re also part of a global learning community, recognizing that widely sharing know-how and resources can help accelerate learning. Through our Go Platform, an immersive, browser-based virtual world platform based on the Unreal® Engine, we’ve made free releases like these available to trainees everywhere:
A 3D interactive program that enables healthcare workers to practice techniques for quickly sedating and intubating critically ill patients.
An immersive game that simulates real-world medical lab conditions, including conducting DNA extraction and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, just like the same research performed to identify the COVID-19 virus.
A program that puts trainees on the front lines of a mass casualty event triggered by an earthquake or biological, chemical or explosive attack.
We’re eager to find out more about the ways you prepare your team for the most serious challenges they may face. And we invite you to learn more about how Virtual Heroes can help you meet your training challenges like never before.
