What it is
Near-Life is a browser-based platform for creating interactive video and VR simulations for learning teams. Authors can build branching scenarios in which learner choices change what happens, then review feedback reports and analytics on individual responses and aggregated interactions. The platform includes 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 a learning management system. Near-Life supports LTI, SCORM, and xAPI, and lists Moodle, Totara, Canvas, and Docebo integrations. Its CREATOR product runs in the browser without a software download. The free plan includes one project, 2D media, 5GB storage, and up to 100 plays. Starter costs $54.50 a month, and a 14-day trial is available. Downloading a SCORM-compatible zip is limited to Enterprise users and agency or freelance users on an annual CREATOR+ subscription. Listed use cases include healthcare, emergency services, public sector, financial services, education, and NGOs.
