Introducing LiveScenarios™

Fully interactive scenario-based training.

The days of branching movies are over.

For decades, simulation training has relied on pre-recorded video scenarios to teach and practice de-escalation skills, but they fail to replicate the most important variable in any encounter: real-time interaction.

If you’ve ever experienced one of these scenarios for yourself, you’ve felt it—that disconnect. The person on the screen can’t hear you. They don’t respond to your tone, your questions, or your presence. To prepare for the real world, officers need a training experience that listens, adapts, and evolves like the situations they face every day.

Now, say hello to what’s next.

LiveScenarios, replace scripted video with something far more powerful: real people fully integrated into rich 3D environments. DART’s patent-pending technology allows true two-way communication. Trainees speak, react, and adapt just like they would in the field. And because the environment is digital, you can change locations, lighting, props, and even the weather.

Training for the 97%.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, less than 3% of police encounters involve the use of force. However, every situation an officer faces requires communication. LiveScenarios bring that critical skill to the forefront, offering agencies an immersive, flexible, and truly effective way to prepare their teams for the unpredictable challenges of real-world policing.

Benefits of LiveScenarios.

Virtually 100% of an officer’s job involves communication. By incorporating LiveScenarios into a training program, law enforcement agencies can create a dynamic and immersive learning environment that prepares officers for the complex and challenging situations they may face in the line of duty.

LiveScenarios offer several significant advantages compared to pre-recorded video scenarios.

  • True, real-time interaction and adaptability to participants’ choices allow for dynamic responses to diverse scenarios.
  • Trainees are free to respond exactly as they would in a real situation.
  • Training is laser-focused on precise needs; school resource officers, patrol detectives, undercover work, etc.
  • Training is repeatable. Do it again and again using what you’ve learned from previous training sessions.

LiveScenarios even offers advantages over traditional role-play training.

  • The instructor and the role-player can be the same person. In addition, a safety officer isn’t necessary, reducing the manpower required.
  • LiveScenarios can take place anywhere, and locations can be changed with the click of a mouse.
  • Traditional role-play training occurs once or twice a year, but because less effort is required for LiveScenarios, de-escalation training can happen much more often.
  • With role-playing, you must pretend. Pretend this is a front door. Pretend this is a warehouse. But when you pretend, there is no common frame of reference. The trainee imagines one thing while the instructor may assume something else. With LiveScenarios, there is no need to imagine the surroundings.
  • Throughput is greatly enhanced. With LiveScenarios, a student can run through several completely different scenarios in under 30 minutes.
