Who We Are
Our company and mission
Our mission at Imitated Environments is to help bring education into the 21st century. Coming from a University-based
academic background, we specialise in the development of immersive 3D simulated learning experiences that allow
students to practice their professional skills in a safe and near-to-life virtual environment. We focus on empowering
educators to create and share these learning experiences with a global community of learners.
