The SimInsights Advantage
Three key differentiators that set us apart from others
Don’t Just Watch—Create
Authoring vs. Consumption
Lobaki
Lobaki provides a “buffet” of simulations. If a professor wants to change a step in a chemistry lab or update a diesel engine model, they have to pay for “Custom Content Development.”
SimInsights
While SimInsights provides professional services, Hyperskill and SimGenie allow both faculty and students to be the creators. Our no-code tools allow institutions to build, iterate, and update simulations in-house without a team of developers.
AI-Powered Personalization
The Virtual Tutor
Lobaki
Lobaki provides limited AI tools primarily for teachers to build lesson plans.
SimInsights
We put AI in the simulation. HyperSkill’s AI-driven feedback provides real-time coaching to students, mimicking a 1-on-1 instructor.
Hardware Agnostic = No Bottlenecks
No VR headsets? No problem
Lobaki
Physical VR headsets are fantastic, but they are expensive to scale and maintain. Lobaki’s focus relies heavily on standard VR setups.
SimInsights
SimInsights solves the hardware bottleneck. You can author an experience once and deploy it anywhere. Students and trainees can experience high-fidelity 3D training on the equipment you already own, including iPads, Chromebooks, PCs, and standard web browsers.
