Total Immersion Software Inc.
RealWorld is the revolutionary PC-based platform that enables non-programmers to rapidly build 3D, geo-specific simulations. Our mission is to put the power to virtually train and practice complex scenarios into the hands of the people who do the work, are the experts, and have a stake in the outcome by drastically driving down the cost, time and skills required.
Total Immersion Software built RealWorld to focus on time-critical applications where lives are on the line — first responders, counterterrorism professionals, warfighters, healthcare workers, the intelligence community and security forces. The ability to train individuals and teams in a realistic virtual environment saves lives and reduces risk. We help professionals get better at what they do by putting the power of virtual reality directly in their hands.
