RealTime Immersive Inc., a CryENGINE® simulation and serious games company, announced its Serious Game Submission entitled Virtual AttainTM has been awarded Best Business Game in the 2012 Serious Games Showcase & Challenge.  Virtual AttainTM was one of more than 50 entries and 18 finalists.  The judging process included more than 100 people from academia, government, and industry worldwide.

Virtual AttainTM is a CryENGINE® powered solution inspired by efforts inside the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command.  It was designed to be used by soldiers who have previously received training, such as patrol operations, casualty evacuation, call for fire, egress, and special operation tactics.  The game puts the commander or patrol leader in a virtual driver seat with a real life scenario where things can go wrong before they step foot on the battlefield.  It was designed to help soldiers start planning for what could happen given the history of an area of operation.

Virtual AttainTM incorporates robust review features, including the Observation Marking System, After Action Review, and Situational Decision Point.  These features allow players to make critical decisions during high-pressure, time-limited situations.  Students can enhance their situational awareness in hostile environments by taking individual skills previously learned from real world environments and putting them into practice in a simulated team environment.

John Brooks, CEO of RealTime Immersive, Inc. stated, “The RTI team is honored to be recognized by the Serious Games Showcase & Challenge community of experts and proud to be selected as Best Business Game for 2012.  We look forward to expanding the features used in Virtual AttainTM to address a wide array of military and non-military training needs.”
