VitaSim Anders Winter info@vitasim.dk ¡ www.vitasim.dk The history of VitaSim started on a shared car ride where Rune and Eskild discovered a mutual passion for improving education. Eskild was working with the control of robots using VR, and Rune was teaching clinical skills to medical students. Naturally, they discovered that VR had an impressive potential for teaching and training.
Together with Anders they founded VitaSim and set out on a journey to change the world of skill training. Today VitaSim no longer create educational content but instead provide a unique platform that empowers teachers to create VR-based content - all by themselves.
