Pixaera is a safety-training platform for high-risk industries, built around realistic workplace scenarios in which workers make decisions and practise responses. It records those decisions and links performance gaps to relevant safety rules and life-saving actions. Training is available as illustrated, animated Storybook scenarios or 3D, video-led Cinematic scenarios, in more than 42 languages. Organisations can deliver it through an LMS, facilitator-led classroom sessions, or a link or QR code. Learners can use a browser, desktop app, mobile device, or VR headset, including Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S. Most training works on iOS and Android without an app, though some modules are not available on mobile. The platform includes collaborative learning, authoring tools, learner analytics, and admin controls. It supports SCORM and SAML-compatible SSO, lists several learning and business-system integrations, and offers an API for two-way sync of assignment and completion data.
