Creators can preview content while authoring learning structure using 2D or 3D playback
Experience the learning narrative structure in 2D, hearing the dialogue spoken through previously determined voice templates, allowing for an enhanced perception of the narrative structure, learning design and scoring
3D playback allows users to experience the learning content as the learner would, enabling for narrative structure review that allows for an optimized learner experience
Switch between gaze or voice input type while reviewing content in 3D playback to experience how learner’s navigate content
Export flows and projects in various formats to support content reviews and collaboration:
Export flows and projects in various formats to support content reviews and collaboration:
CSV - project or flow that is compatible with Excel/Numbers/Google Sheets or similar applications
PNG - for sharing a visual representation of the narrative structure
CPDProject - file sharing of flows or projects that can be imported into another team member’s CoPilot Designer desktop application
Fountain - screenplay text for an enhanced focus on narrative content
Use the Flow Editor’s canvas as one central interface for reviewing and editing node metadata, connections, and interactions
Performance Editor

Frequently Asked Questions About Creating Custom VR Training With CoPilot Designer
What is the process for creating my own custom VR training module with CoPilot Designer?
To create a VR training module, you will follow a learning experience design process that typically involves steps like identifying learning objectives and skills, writing a narrative design for the VR simulation using CoPilot Designer’s flow editor, selecting the virtual humans and 3D environments for your simulation, bringing the characters to life with animation, and selecting which devices you’d like to publish to ex. VR headsets or desktop streaming
How does CoPilot Designer fit into the Talespin VR training platform?
CoPilot Designer is a key piece of our platform, paired with our off-the-shelf VR training content library and the platform’s Dashboard for skills measurement, content management and user administration. These three components offer an end-to-end content creation / curation, publishing, and analytics platform for VR training.
What types of use cases can I create custom VR training modules for with CoPilot Designer?
Given how much control you have over the narrative design process and virtual human animation, you can create custom VR training simulations for virtually any conversational learning use case with CoPilot Designer. We’ve had clients create VR sales training modules, customer service training modules, leadership training modules, and many more use cases specific to different industries and job roles.
How long does it take to create a custom VR training module with CoPilot Designer?
Before CoPilot Designer, creating custom VR training modules took several weeks, and even months. Now our customers are seeing content creation times of 5-10 days, and even as low as 2-3 days with the use of generative AI to help accelerate the learning design and narrative writing of learning modules.
How can I deploy or publish VR training modules that I create with CoPilot Designer?
A key feature of CoPilot Designer is the ability to create learning content one time and to then be able to distribute it across modalities. Currently CoPilot Designer supports publishing to Meta Quest 2 VR headsets and 2D browser streaming on Mac and PC devices.
