Delivery Options to Train with Virtual Human Role-Players

The SimData API allows you to integrate SIMmersion’s Training Center LMS features with your software. This allows your organization's learners to access SIMmersion training, and your administrators to access SIMmersion data without needing to use the SIMmersion Training Center or Administration Center. The SimData API allows you to remotely manage student learner accounts, licenses, and statistics for trainees who would otherwise use Training Center to access SIMmersion training. It provides almost all of the features publicly available within Training Center to your applications.

SimData is a web-based API utilizing JSON, making it suitable for integration with most applications.

The Conversation API allows for the integration of a SIMmersion conversation with your application. This API is ideally suited for integrating a conversation into an existing simulation or 3D environment, such as a game engine. The API serves the conversation logic only (it expects the developer to build a user-interface if necessary). Additionally, the API contains speech recognition capability (Windows only). An internet connection is required to implement this API.

Current Versions:

• C++ (99/11) and C# .NET (frameworks 3/4) available.
• Javascript version (for use with Node.JS) available.
• Plug-in for Unity game engine (version 5) available.

The advantages of using this web-based API are:

• There is no need to integrate conversation engine modules into your application directly, allowing you great freedom over application development and architecture.
• Data is immediately saved to SIMmersion’s backend infrastructure (TCAPI) — this allows for viewing of conversation transcripts and generating reports using the TCAPI reporting infrastructure.
• Updates and bug-fixes to the conversation itself are made immediately available to your application.
• Speech recognition capacity can be made available to applications that otherwise wouldn’t be able to integrate it easily (e.g., Unity Engine).
