Epic Games and Virtual Heroes team up to build a Cadet training program to the Unreal Government Network.

Epic Games and the interactive learning simulation company Virtual Heroes are teaming up in order to develop a few training programs like a multiplayer crime scene sim for the FBI Academy and an anesthesiology training program for Army Physicians, using of course, the Unreal Engine 3 technologies.



Numerous projects that are part of the UGN are already under way. The FBI Academy is using the Unreal Engine 3 to create a multiplayer crime scene simulator to train its cadets. Additionally, a "top-five defense contractor" and a "national laboratory" are using Epic's tech for custom-made model "integrations and visualization."

On top of that, the technology is being used by Virtual Heroes and Duke University to create an anesthesiology training application for Army physicians. A HumanSim platform aimed at medical education and training is also in the works.


Is there something the Unreal technology from Epic can't do now?
