The Power of Simulation with the Scalability & Flexibility of a Digital Solution

Overview of Features

Intuitive Interactions

We created UbiSim exclusively for VR, so learners’ Experience is lifelike. No floating menus or point-and-click interactions! Only intuitive, realistic hand gestures and interactions.

Customizable Content

UbiSim empowers educators to reach their pedagogical objectives.

Supporting the educator's creativity by helping them reach their pedagogical objectives is at the center of UbiSim's mission. Our Editor is a powerful yet intuitive web-based tool that guides nursing educators in customizing existing pre-made UbiSim scenarios or designing their own clinical scenario.

A Dynamic and Evolving Platform

We are continually adding new content, environments, patients, symptoms, and equipment to our platform.

Based on INACSL standards, we partner with institutions around the world to ensure best practices and up-to-date content to support your educational needs.

Team Training

With our multiplayer functionality, students can work together to treat virtual patients - from the same classroom and from anywhere in the world.
