Virtual Sim Center

Acadicus is a virtual simulation platform that combines an expansive library of characters, equipment and environments with powerful no-code tools for creating and customizing live or 3D recorded learning experiences.

Content

Acadicus comes with the virtual equivalent of millions of dollars worth of shared content, along with powerful no-code tools for creating and customizing live or pre-recorded 3D recorded learning experiences.

Characters

Acadicus comes with a library of characters that can be used to stage a wide variety of simulation scenarios that can be manipulated with Sim Manager.

Assets

Assets are the 3D models of equipment and patients that are added to a Simulation Environment using the Scene Editing Tools.

Environments

Within the environment, characters, equipment and other assets can be added to the scene depending on the scenario.

Featured Simulations

Acadicus comes with access to a library of existing 3D recorded simulations by expert instructors. Simulations can be customized based on individual needs.

EMS Paramedic and Prehospital Assets

Acadicus comes with a library of characters that can be used to stage a wide variety of simulation scenarios that can be manipulated with Sim Manager.

Anatomy Assets

These anatomy assets and more are available in Acadicus and can be used to create virtual education experiences.

Airway Assets

This is a preview of a new batch of airway and anesthesia assets and interactivity currently in development. Available to Acadicus Pro Space subscribers.

ECG Lead Placement

We’ve expanded the functionality of our interactive asset class, and shared a preliminary demo of a 12 lead ECG lead placement simulation that features this capability.

Features

3D Recording Tool

The 3D Recording Tool allows instructors to capture and share their demonstrations and lectures. 3D recordings can be played back anytime, from anywhere.

Scene Editing Tools

Simulations can be easily customized and updated over time using the advanced scene editing tools and downloaable content packs.

Multiplayer

Acadicus Multiplayer enables participants to join a simulation from any location. They can join in VR Mode or non-VR Mode.

Simulation Manager

The Acadicus Simulation Manager enables instructors and standardized patient actors to become the patient, manipulating animations, vital signs, and more.
