The team of simulation experts at Level 3 Audiovisual come from different backgrounds but share a common goal: to provide the simulation industry with a standardized level of education and training. To achieve this goal, Level 3 hosts and sponsors various education and training events throughout the year. Level 3 Audiovisual recently concluded a skills camp event in Mineola, N.Y., which drew healthcare simulation professionals and educators from 60 simulation centers in the New York and New Jersey area. These New York Sim Chapter Skills Camps are designed to provide both networking and education for simulation professions in the area. The most recent event, held September 24, focused on advanced debriefing as a key part of the healthcare simulation process.

When you hear the word “start-up,” you might think of a small group of people toiling away on a protype in a basement or garage while they live off noodles and energy drinks. But in today’s market, rather than being lean basement operations, technology start-ups are consistently ranked among the best places to work, thanks to high salaries and competitive perks. Many tech start-ups also have high valuations with capital to spend—the enterprise tech market, for example, is projected to reach $3.8 trillion this year. Investing some of that money in powerful AV technology can help successful tech start-ups stay at the top of the heap.

Seeing is believing, the old saying goes. But when it comes to visualizing existing data and simulated scenarios in order to address complicated infrastructure issues—such as transportation, mobility, and traffic—users need to see both real-time and historical data presented in a compelling way. And it needs to be displayed using audiovisual tools that enhance rather than detract from the information, making it easier to understand and act on. Here are three transportation challenges simulation can help address, and three AV tools that can improve the visualization of those simulations and the data they produce.

For many careers and professions there is a clear path to get from where you are to where you want to be. If you want to be an engineer, you get an engineering degree. If you want to be a doctor, you go to medical school. But if you want to be a simulation technician or simulation operations specialist, the way forward is a little less clear. There is no standardized degree, certification, or educational path for simulation specialists, and people come to simulation from a variety of backgrounds including nursing, emergency response, IT, and administration.

You’ve probably had a good chuckle at a broadcast TV blooper reel or on-air faux pas because there’s something funny about someone tripping over their tongue on live TV. But having the wrong technology in your broadcast TV studio or multimedia communications center is no laughing matter.  To stay competitive in today’s television broadcast market, you have to offer more than two anchors sitting behind a desk or a lone reporter broadcasting from the red carpet. Modern video walls that display maps, statistics, photos, and videos can help capture viewers’ attention while providing anchors, hosts, and reporters with some variety in the way they present information. But the wrong video wall can distract viewers and cause them to reach for the remote. So how do you choose the right video wall solution for your broadcast and multimedia communications needs? Here are six important considerations to get you started.

Simulation labs are a growing part of healthcare training and education programs, but simulation lab managers still face some challenges when it comes to hiring the right staff, raising the necessary funding, and purchasing the right equipment, among other things.
