For immersive training providers, simulation teams & systems integrators
What does it take to turn a written procedure into an interactive training scenario?
Start from what you already have: a job hazard analysis, a permit form, the content of an existing SCORM module, or a building model in IFC or Revit. Ziva builds the scenario with an AI agent inside the engine and hands back an editable Unreal Engine, Unity, or Godot project. Your specialists approve the procedure.
Start from whatever you already have
Most projects start from one or two of these. None of them is required. Send what you have and the review identifies what is missing.
- A job hazard analysis. OSHA publication 3071 describes the method and OSHA publishes a blank worksheet. OSHA 3071 (PDF) OSHA JHA worksheet (PDF)
- A permit form, such as the sample confined space entry permit in Appendix D to 29 CFR 1910.146. 29 CFR 1910.146 Appendix D
- The content of an existing SCORM module, slide deck, or video script.
- A building model in IFC or Revit, or a floor plan and photos of the site. For Unreal Engine projects, Epic lists both formats among the files Datasmith imports. Epic Games documentation
What you get back
- An editable project in your engine: scenes, scripts, and assets, handed over as source.
- The hazards and decisions in the scenario mapped to the steps of your procedure.
- The assessment events your buyer specified in the scope.
- A handoff note so your team can update sites, equipment, and procedures later.
Ziva for Godot 4.2 and later is available to download today. Unity is in beta. Unreal Engine and Isaac Sim begin with a scoped enterprise pilot.
How the work is priced
Enterprise pricing is custom to your organization, engine, and use case. There is no public price list. Send what you have through the project inquiry and the quote follows that review. Support and commercial terms are written into the engagement.

Questions to resolve before production.
What if we do not have a job hazard analysis or a building model?
Send what you have. A written procedure, an existing slide deck, or photos of the site is enough to start the review. A job hazard analysis, a permit form, or a building model in IFC or Revit gives the build more to work from, and none of them is required. The review identifies what is missing.
Can we use our own procedures and customer assets?
Yes. Bring the procedures, reference material, site assets, and brand requirements you are authorized to use. Your specialists and customer reviewers remain responsible for approving the actions and training accuracy.
Can the module support VR, desktop, offline delivery, or an LMS?
Those requirements are scoped at the review. Bring the target devices and any LMS, accessibility, offline, or completion-record requirements; what is delivered and tested before handoff is written into the scope.
Which engine will the project be in?
Unreal Engine, Unity, or Godot, agreed at the review. Ziva for Godot 4.2 and later is available to download today. Unity is in beta. Unreal Engine and Isaac Sim begin with a scoped enterprise pilot.
Does an interactive scenario certify compliance?
No. Ziva helps build the training software. Procedure accuracy, regulatory compliance, certification, and acceptance of training evidence remain with the qualified teams responsible for them.
Who owns the project after handoff?
You do. You retain all rights to the code and content you create using Ziva, the project is handed over as editable source in your engine, and Ziva never uses your code to train AI models. Read the terms of service.
Review the interaction before approving the training approach.
This warehouse example demonstrates hazard identification, prompts, feedback, and scoring. It does not certify procedure accuracy or regulatory compliance; qualified reviewers must approve both for a real deployment.
