For authors

Build your first 3D simulation in HyperSkill Studio, or your first Spark.

There are two kinds of simulation to build, and they are built in different places.

  • 3D simulations are built in HyperSkill Studio, in a browser or on Windows. A learner moves around a space and handles objects. Covered in depth under HyperSkill Studio.

  • Sparks are conversational simulations, built in the browser. A learner talks with an AI character and is scored on the conversation. Covered under Spark.

You can find a detailed video tutorial in our YouTube playlist.

Build a 3D simulation

1

Open HyperSkill Studio

In HyperSkill Platform, open Get HyperSkill. HyperSkill Online runs in your browser with nothing to install; Windows Desktop is the installed app. See Get HyperSkill on your devices.

2

Create a simulation

Select Create New Sim in the top right corner of the My Sims page, which opens by default when you launch the app.

3

Name it and pick a space

Give the simulation a name, select a virtual space from the list, and click Create in the bottom right corner.

4

Author the simulation

The simulation opens in edit mode. Move the camera with the same controls a learner uses, drop objects into the space from the asset library, and use the tabs along the top to add tasks, rules and scoring.

This is the part with real depth to it. Authoring a simulation covers building the steps a learner follows, making objects react to what they do, and scoring their performance.

Save and play

Click the save icon to save your changes, then press Play to enter experience mode.

Build a Spark

1

Create the Spark

Go to spark.siminsights.com, sign in with your HyperSkill account, and create a Spark.

2

Build the conversation

Scenario Flow is the states the conversation moves through, AI is the character and the agents that score it, and Settings covers the microphone.

Building a Spark covers writing the character's instructions, giving it documents to draw on, and setting up the agents that score the conversation and the feedback the learner sees at the end.

3

Try it

Press Open experience to play it as a learner would. It opens on spark.siminsights.com in a new tab.

4

Publish

A Spark is published when you play it once. Playing it generates a public link, and until you do, the Spark cannot be played outside the editor.
