Immersive Communication Training System (ICTS) ver.2.1 :: Hosted vs. Purchased Solution Hosted Solution. Hosted solution is a good way to test how Second Life simulations fit in your training program without committing major up-front investments and resources. It allows you to create a small pilot project, run it on a group of trainees and evaluate results making decision on how do you want to proceed with a full-scale project. Hosted solution includes: Ability to create one simulation with up to three robotic avatars Hosting of your simulation data and results on our servers (this is network separate from Second Life) Your private area on Education Island in Second Life to host simulation (this is optional - if you have your location in Second Life you can create simulation at your location) Password-protected web interface Ability to create and update simulation using graphical web-based interface Ability to review simulation results Six months of usage included -- no monthly fees! (after initial six months monthly fee is US$200/month) Up to six hours of technical support per month Currently hosted solution is available at the introductory rate of US$5,500. If you purchase hosted ICTS and at the end of six-month period you decide to proceed with the purchased solution, the hosted solution fee will be counted towards the project cost. Purchased Solution. Purchased full-scale solution gives you ability to create any number of simulations with different scenarios / robotic avatars / locations. We will install robotic avatar engine and web interface on your network and will connect it to your back-end database or, optionally, LMS. We can also assist you with creating custom environments and characters for the simulations. Immersive Communication Training System - Home How does it work?
