VSTEP Newsletter – April

Spring is a time of new beginnings and, here at VSTEP, it indeed brought with it several developments. 

We recently launched our newest product – Response Simulator or RS for short. This virtual training platform facilitates training for safety & security personnel. We have also published our new website, which will allow us to better showcase our products and their capabilities. In addition to this, we have started to sell RS Creator online!  

We are happy to share this month’s newsletter filled with all of the recent events and innovations at VSTEP. 

VSTEP launches Response Simulator

At the beginning of April VSTEP officially launched Response Simulator – the world’s most advanced virtual safety training platform. Built on success of RescueSim, this platform includes several systems that can facilitate any safety & security related training goals.   Read more here

VSTEP at FDIC 2019

In April VSTEP, together with partner FAAC, attended FDIC 2019 – the biggest trade show for Fire & Rescue professionals in the US. This show offered various workshops, classrooms and the most innovative products and services in the industry displayed by over 800 exhibiting companies. 

FDIC was the perfect opportunity to present Response Simulator to the public. During 2 full days at the show, our team  presented the product by giving live product demonstrations on 2 screens as well as using VR equipment.

“Even though we regularly participate in FDIC, this year the show was special as we had the opportunity to finally showcase Response Simulator. During the live demonstrations we interacted with visitors and were able to fully show product capabilities, suitability to various training session needs and discuss the future plans. We got a lot of interest and positive feedback and we are ready to start delivering the product” – says Ben Borrie, Product Manager RS. 

New VSTEP website

During the past month we not only worked on releasing a new product, but also our new website! The new, fresh look and easy navigation elevates the website to another level. We added e-commerce features and are now able to sell RS Creator and, in the future, other products online.   

“We are happy with how the website turned out. It is a dynamic tool and we will constantly work on it to optimize a flawless user experience for visitors. We see the new website as a powerful method that will clearly showcase our products and their capabilities.” – Jonathan Hodge, MarCom Officer at VSTEP.

Live event – Response Simulator demonstration

On 30 April we hosted a live event to  introduce the Response Simulator platform through a live-stream. During this event we presented our product philosophy and goals, as well as gave a live product demonstration followed by discussion with viewers of the event.
