What it is
Near-Life is a browser-based platform for building interactive video and VR simulations for learning teams. Learners make choices in branching scenarios, and teams can use feedback reports and an analytics dashboard to review individual responses and aggregated interaction statistics. Creation tools include AI-assisted scenario design, AI video generation, and AI image generation for 2D and 360° images. Experiences can be shared by link, embedded on a website, or integrated with an LMS. Near-Life supports LTI, SCORM, and xAPI, and lists Moodle, Totara, Canvas, and Docebo as learning platform integrations. CREATOR runs in a browser without a software download. The free plan includes one project, 2D media, 5GB storage, and up to 100 plays. Starter costs $54.50 per month; Creator costs $145.00 per month, and Creator VR costs $249.50 per month. A 14-day trial is available. SCORM-compatible zip downloads are limited to Enterprise users and agency or freelance users on an annual CREATOR+ subscription.
