3DFrame
When training is immersive, the lesson is lived, not just read.
Read a procedure and you remember some of it. Step inside it, make the call, feel the consequence when it goes wrong, and it stays with you. 3DFrame is the XR platform behind that shift: training your people experience first-hand, so competence transfers to the real task instead of stopping at the page.
It is built authoring-first, so the people who know the work build the training. It runs on the hardware you already have or choose. And it is in production today: European manufacturers run operator and maintenance training on it, and Humanitas, one of Europe's leading teaching hospitals, runs clinical procedure training on it. The same patterns transfer to your operation.
Why immersive works
The lesson that is lived is the lesson that sticks.
Some knowledge does not survive a manual or a slide. The order you do things in under pressure, the thing that feels wrong before it looks wrong, the judgement a senior operator built over fifteen years: that lives in the doing, and it walks out the door when they retire. Immersive training captures it while they are still here, and lets the next person practise it until it is theirs.
They practise the real thing, safely
The trainee rehearses the actual procedure, the real sequence, and the real decision points, including the ways it goes wrong, in a place where a mistake costs nothing. When they reach the real equipment or the real patient, they have already been here.
Senior knowledge is captured, not lost
The judgement your most experienced people carry becomes content the next generation trains against. A retirement stops being a hole in the operation. The knowledge stays where the work is.
Competence arrives faster
New starters reach the standard sooner, because they arrive at the real task already fluent in it. The scarce resource, senior staff time spent supervising, is preserved for the work that genuinely needs it.
The guidance is there at the moment of the task
For maintenance and inspection, the procedure is available on the asset itself through AR overlay at point of work, so the technician follows the approved method in front of them instead of leaving the job to find the manual.
Outcomes a team can own
What changes when 3DFrame is deployed
The training operation moves from constrained by scarce people to scalable by platform. The work senior staff did supervising new starters becomes the content the new starter trains against, and the operation keeps producing it in-house as the work changes.
Training scales from weeks to days
Operator training moves from weeks of supervised time on real equipment to days of simulator time plus targeted real-equipment time. The expensive resource, senior staff time, is preserved for the work that needs it.
Content produced in-house, not by a 3D studio
Your own experienced staff produce the training using no-code authoring. No external production lead times. No third-party renegotiation when the procedure changes. The training reflects how the work is actually done, not how a vendor imagines it.
Maintenance guidance on the asset
AR overlay at point of work puts the procedure on the equipment being worked on. The technician has the work instruction in front of them, on the asset, and follows the approved method without memorising what to look for.
Clinical training without cadaver or schedule constraints
Procedure, anatomy, and patient-interaction training delivered at scale without depending on cadaver availability or scheduled real-patient time. Trainees practise on simulations that respond to their decisions before they touch real patients.
Architecture
Where 3DFrame sits
3DFrame is largely self-contained for training delivery. It integrates with LMS for tracking and certification, and with maintenance management systems for AR overlay use cases. Vection's R&D partnership with UNIBO (Italian university) drives the underlying platform roadmap.
Four architectural layers, each doing the work the others are not built for.
Capabilities
What is inside
Content authoring tools
No-code or low-code authoring for both training simulations and AR overlays. Your own training team builds the content, work instructions, failure modes, branching scenarios, without a 3D studio or specialist developer. Authoring is the headline capability, because content is what makes the difference between a demo and a training programme people actually use.
Runtime engine
Immersive training delivery on VR headsets. AR overlay for in-work guidance on AR glasses or mobile. Desktop and mobile fallback for trainees without dedicated XR hardware. The same content runs across delivery modes; the trainer chooses the right mode for the procedure and the trainee, not the platform.
AI-assisted authoring and in-experience guidance
AI helps keep the library current: it can regenerate a procedure from an updated description, so revising content takes far less effort than a full rebuild. And where you want a conversational trainer inside the session, Algho can be integrated as an optional in-experience guide, answering a learner's questions in the moment. Both are integrations you can switch on, not prerequisites for running 3DFrame.
Hardware-agnostic delivery
Works across consumer headsets (Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro), enterprise headsets, AR glasses, mobile, and desktop. You are not locked into a hardware vendor whose roadmap is not yours. New headset generations slot in; older hardware keeps working. The platform abstracts the hardware so your organisation does not have to.
Procedure library
Pre-built procedure templates and industry-specific content packs. Common patterns, safety procedures, equipment walkthroughs, anatomical training, doctor-patient simulations, ship as starting points. Your own content extends them. The library evolves as the platform evolves; new packs do not require new licensing.
The people who know the work build the training.
Immersive training only holds up when the content matches the job, and the people who understand the job best are already inside your operation. 3DFrame is built so they can author it directly. The senior trainer who has run the supervised training for fifteen years authors the simulation. The procedure expert captures the procedure. The work-instruction author writes the work instruction.
That is what keeps a programme alive past the first pilot. The content is produced by the people who know the work, not by a third party who has to be re-briefed every time the procedure changes, so the library grows and stays current instead of freezing after launch.
It is why European manufacturers run 3DFrame in production, and why the training reflects how the work is really done.
Hardware
You choose. The platform delivers.
3DFrame is hardware-agnostic by design. The decision is not "which headset," it is "which delivery mode for which training." We support the consumer headsets that have made XR economically viable for industrial training, Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro. We support enterprise headsets where the work environment requires them. We support AR glasses and mobile devices for overlay use cases at point of work. And we support desktop and mobile for trainees who do not need immersive delivery.
The platform abstracts the hardware. New headset generations slot in without re-authoring the content. Older hardware keeps working until you choose to retire it. The training programme does not depend on a particular vendor's roadmap.
