The mission of the Johnson Simulation Center is to enable and support the use of computer simulation to improve education and training, to promote economic development, and to enhance decision-making processes.

 

Beyond Virtual

Immersive simulation is a valuable tool that allows learners to closely observe detailed objects and practice specific skills in a 3-dimensional environment. JSC's projects include immersive-training applications for spray painting, welding, tool use, and quality-assurance simulations. We also build educational or serious games in which players learn complex critical information and skills in an engaging, fun environment.

Our programmers and staff work closely with clients to incorporate field data, moving beyond virtual to build highly-detailed, realistic simulations that impart real-world skills, information, and knowledge.
