No Code Tools
At VirtualStudio, time is money, and we don't want you to waste a minute on it. Since 2016, we have offered our customers our web-based CMS to simplify their lives when creating interactive scenarios, technology manuals or game-based training in a 3D environment. Our TOOLBOX has the power to simplify the editing of a complex game-based training course. Because again, no programming knowledge is required to set up, modify or improve the game flow!
HINTING
Setup timers, detect the player getting stuck, provide support and deliver context based tips at any point in the level, matching the score that relates to the players action. VirtualStudio provides unlimited HINTING functionality.
HIGHLIGHTING
As an instructional designer you want to point out elements in the 3D virtual wold? Simply HIGHLIGHT the virtual element at any time in the scenario/level and based on the players (inter)actions and level flow. Add properties such as colour, transparency, blinking frequency to make the highlight match the visual design of your game or the emphasis required.
TROPHIES
Turn any dull digital manual or virtual simulation into a rewarding learning experience for the player by adding TROPHIES to be earned. Add one or more trophies to match series of competences and relate the trophy to a passing percentage. Trophies can also be used to unlock new levels or scenarios.
SCORE POINTS
The player can earn or lose POINTS per step, assignment or (inter)action. The final score is then shown at the end of the game. A success rate or passing percentage can be linked to this to validate the players progress in the scenario or level. Scoring points are an important element in gamifying your simulation or interactive manual.
LEADER BOARD
The core of good knowledge retention is that the knowledge must be "meaningful and interesting." As a tool, you can tap into the learner's own competitive mindset and use a LEADER BOARD for this purpose. A LEADER BOARD is available and easy to set up per level.
TEXT BASED INSTRUCTION
Spoken or (re)written texts can be a very powerful tool to support your player. TEXT can be added or enhanced in real time at each step of the game. You can also draw extra attention to the text by stopping or blurring the image.
TEXT TO SPEECH
As an editor or instructional designer you can add spoken text that can be edited as written text. No difficult voice over process, just type and have the game talk to you. This process is always available via the TEXT TO SPEECH functionality of VirtualStudio. It even allows you to chose the characters' voice for even more game experience.
CREATIVE GAMEFLOW
The player can earn or lose POINTS per step, assignment or (inter)action. The final score is then shown at the end of the game. A success rate or passing percentage can be linked to this to validate the players progress in the scenario or level. Scoring points are an important element in gamifying your simulation or interactive manual.
INSTRUCTIONS
Most GBTs are created to transfer knowledge. VirtualStudio offers a wide range of INSTRUCTIONS capabilities such as written or spoken text, images, audio and video. If the player gets stuck, these instructions can be repeated for further clarification. As an editor you have control over repeating the same instruction or refining the instruction for further clarification.
ROLL BASED USERS
VirtualStudio is an independent toolbox that also provides roll based USER MANAGEMENT. Create, modify, disable and delete users and invite users for user self creation in the toolbox. Choose from various authentication methods such as domain validation or using a registration code to prevent unauthorised players to access the content of the game.
