Drag-and-Drop Editing and Authoring
Customizable Training
The V-Author® program revolutionizes training by placing training in the hands of the instructors who know their specific needs and locations. These programs allow instructors to create and edit scenarios customized to their agency’s training objectives, thus providing more freedom and less limitation in training.
V-Author® Scenario Authoring Software
Create Your Own Scenarios and Drills
Instructors begin by uploading a panoramic image of a local courthouse, school, government building, etc. or one of the pre-loaded environments. After choosing the scene, instructors can drag-and-drop characters, props, visual effects and animated targets onto the environment.
Each V-Author character performs multiple actions and can be programmed to perform certain sequences when triggered by trainees, events, the instructor, etc. To maximize scenario training time, instructors also have the ability to edit VirTra’s pre-assembled, pre-loaded scenarios.
This easy-to-use application is capable of hundreds of thousands custom scenarios, targeting exercises and firearms courseware.
