Browser Training Sim
A practical trade skills simulator, streamed from a cloud GPU into a browser tab, authenticated from inside the learning platform a college already runs, and assessed into the gradebook. Delivered and in production.
Client: A national vocational education provider
In production at a national provider
Installs. It opens from a link.
Launches from inside the college LMS
Assessment returns to the gradebook
A simulation only teaches if it lives inside the systems an institution already runs on. This one is in production at a national provider, and it is coursework rather than a showcase.
Distance learners cannot be asked to install a game engine on whatever laptop they happen to own, so nothing runs on the student's machine. The simulation renders on a cloud GPU and streams to the browser. The hardware requirement is a link.
Students launch from inside the platform their college already uses and arrive authenticated, with no second account and no second password. They work through a guided, staged workflow, assessed against the trade's national compliance standard, and the results return to the gradebook.
The engineering that matters here sits at the seams rather than in the rendering: opening an authenticated session out of an existing platform, holding a streamed session open reliably for a full class, and returning assessment data to the system of record.
The result is not a demonstration of a trade. It is somewhere to practise one, and to get it wrong, which is what a simulator is for.
What we built
The systems inside it
Pixel streamed simulation
An Unreal Engine simulation rendered on a cloud GPU and streamed to the browser, so a student needs a link and nothing else. No install, no hardware requirement, no IT ticket.
LMS integration over LTI
Students launch from inside the platform their college already uses and arrive authenticated. No second account and no second password.
Assessment that counts
A guided multi stage workflow, assessed against the trade's national compliance standard, with results written back where the institution keeps score.
Teacher dashboard
A full admin surface for staff: cohort progress, per student results, and quiz outcomes across a class.
Web platform and API
The application around the simulation. Forty three endpoints covering auth, sessions, progress, assessment and reporting.
More work
Bring us the hard part
Performance walls, network replication that will not scale, streaming pipelines, real-time systems that have to hold their frame budget. That is the work we want.
