vAcademia in Benchmark of 3D virtual environments report

Find information about vAcademia Virtual World in Benchmark of 3D virtual environments report

«Purely considering the differences in training needs mentioned above, vAcademia is
more suitable for formal education and for example language or sales person training
that can be accomplished with simple role play. vAcademia’s built-in tools, such as
screen sharing, remote desktop control, laser pointers, connections to LMS systems and
other productivity tools are optimized for this kind of training and learning.
However, two unique aspects set vAcademia well apart from its competitors: While the
level of customization in the platform may not meet all the needs of simulation-based
learning, the ease of use that can be accomplished by limiting complexity is truly worthwhile.
Also, vAcademia is the first platform to introduce 3D recording (platform records
all the activities in the event and can playback them as a 3D event that you can participate
as spectator), and this has many uses in the experiential learning»
