Transforming students from passive observes of linear material, to active participants with interactive content, theses 3D applications allow students to become immersed and involved with the material like never before.

Industrial Health and Safety Industry

Industrial Health and Safety, or Occupational Safety and Health, is the area focused on protecting the health, safety and welfare of people engaged in employment, work and labor. The goal of Industrial Health and Safety organizations is to foster safe and healthy work environments, in an effort to reduce the number of workplace related injuries and accidents. In addition to concern for the workforce, occupational safety and health organizations seek to reduce the expenses related to injuries and their corresponding costs that range from illness related, to sick leave and disability, to legal.

Safety Training Game

ForgeFX developed this interactive 3D safety training game for California State Compensation Insurance Fund, California’s largest provider of workers’ compensation insurance. The 3D simulation-based game immerses players in specific industrial workplace environments, where their knowledge of hazards and the necessary safety precautions used to avoid them, are put to the test. Players of the game will retain the information they’ve learned in the virtual environment, and apply it while on the job in the real-world, helping to avoid costly accidents.

Non-Profit and Charitable Organization Industry

Non-profit and charitable organizations are groups that do not distribute their surplus funds to owners and shareholders, but rather use them to help achieve their goals. In their efforts to provide programs and services for the benefit of the public, non-profit and charitable organizations commonly develop simulations known as Serious Games, or Games For Change, to help spread the message of their mission.

Serious Game

Heifer International, Beaconfire, and ForgeFX collaborated to build a serious game that teaches players about poverty and hunger. The game is called Heifer Village: Nepal, and its goal is to simulate the challenges faced by those living in poverty and hunger, and to demonstrate some specific methods to address these issues.

Healthcare and Medical Industry

The health care industry treats patients who are injured, sick, or disabled. Typically divided into health care equipment & services, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, & related life sciences. Medical simulations allow health care professionals and students to test their diagnostic and clinical skills without putting patients at risk. Medical training simulations provide realistic virtual environments for health care providers to train for medical procedures in a safe and risk-free environment.

Dental Training Simulation

The Virtual Dental Implant Training Simulation Program, developed by the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry, was designed to help dental students learn and reinforce dental implant procedures. This training simulation allows students to work on multiple patients and clinical scenarios.
