SimInsights is excited to welcome the South Coast Chinese Cultural Association (SCCCA) as a new customer and announce our collaboration to develop a stunning digital twin of their forthcoming museum space at the Great Park in Irvine, CA.
A Vision for Cultural Preservation and Innovation
SCCCA is launching a new museum dedicated to showcasing Chinese American heritage and community contributions. Although the physical space is still under development, the vision is clear and inspiring. The digital twin will allow visitors to experience the museum virtually—offering early access to exhibitions and helping to engage a broader audience.
To bring this vision to life, our team is crafting immersive 3D environments that include:
- a detailed exterior space, grounded in reality with iconic visual anchors such as the Great Park’s Orange Balloon
- a welcoming lobby, featuring a curated boat exhibit and image-based storytelling
- a purpose-built theatre for cultural and educational programming, scaled for accessibility and realism
Collaborating Toward Launch
We’re grateful for the creative direction provided by Jack Toan, Yulan Chung, and Tony Hwang, as well as the artistic vision and execution led by Neil Waters. Our current milestones include finalizing exhibition banners, signs, and image placards – ensuring that the virtual experience reflects the spirit of the community and the aspirations of the SCCCA leadership.
Looking Ahead
We believe this partnership showcases the power of digital twins to shape cultural engagement and storytelling. For the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, we plan to debut the digital twin as a mixed reality experience—placing the museum virtually on its future site at the Great Park. This will allow visitors to explore the space using mobile devices or headsets, bringing tomorrow’s vision to life today.
Welcome, SCCCA! We’re proud to help bring your vision to life through immersive technology.

About SimInsights
SimInsights mission is to democratize the creation of 3D, interactive, immersive and intelligent (I^3) simulations. We believe that simulations are the most impactful way to learn, yet few people can actually leverage them as a creative medium. SimInsights offers HyperSkill, a no-code tool to enable everyone to capture their knowledge in the form of 3D immersive, AI-powered simulations and share it with others. The SimInsights team used HyperSkill to create Skillful, a growing collection of simulations to help anyone master any skill.
