Integration Innovation, Inc. (i3), a technical solutions company headquartered in Huntsville, AL, has joined the Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality Association (VRARA). i3 specializes in Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI) Levels 0-4, in-game IMI, serious games, gamification, virtual operator and maintenance trainers, virtual reality, augmented reality, and mobile applications. i3 develops and maintains VR and AR training products for the US Army and Air Force and produces IMI for the Navy and Coast Guard. i3’s training and simulation products leverage highly accurate, digital twin assets to increase the speed and effectiveness of operator and maintainer training over the DoD’s more standard training material such as PDFs and PowerPoints. i3 developed the Virtual Reaper Suite (VRS) AR application, for example, that optimizes the student learning path through the MQ-9’s digital twin to remove aircraft and equipment limitations. In the same vein, i3 developed the Virtual Reality Simulated Delirium Environment to provide an immersive VR training environment for healthcare workers to experience the real-world effects of delirium. i3’s IMI and serious games are award-winning and widely recognized, with over seven different awards including Best Overall Award & People’s Choice Award for the 2021 I/ITSEC Iron Dev Competition, the world's largest modeling, simulation and training event.
i3 recently expanded its geographic footprint by opening a permanent office in Orlando, FL. “Orlando is a key geographic location known for its excellence in modeling, simulation, and training for the DoD. There are many exciting opportunities to work more closely with current and future customers, as well as establish key working relationships with other companies in the Orlando area — all of whose mindsets align perfectly with i3’s mission statement of ‘Growing People While Solving our Nation’s Toughest Problems’,” said CJ Jacobs, Chief Growth Officer of i3. “Orlando has a rich talent pool and is a hub for innovation, especially in the VR and AR domain. We are excited to be joining the VR/AR Association and look forward to engaging with other members of this growing community in both the Orlando and Huntsville areas,” continued Jacobs. i3’s participation in the Central Florida VRARA Chapter will lend itself to cross-chapter collaboration with Huntsville personnel and the forthcoming Huntsville VRARA chapter extension of the Central Florida Chapter.
“We are excited to have i3 join the VR/AR Association. One of the goals of the Association is to provide support to our members to help them with their business goals and to connect them within the XR community both locally and around the globe and we look forward to supporting them in any way that we can. We are looking forward to i3's active participation and helping us launch the new Huntsville Chapter of the VR/AR Association,” said John Cunningham, Chapter President of the VRARA Central Florida Chapter.
About i3
i3 was founded in 2007 with the intent to do business differently. Our focus is to leave our team members and customers better than we found them — ultimately strengthening our Nation, our warfighter, and our company. From the beginning, our goal has been to create a culture that naturally produces growth by reminding people why they are relevant, that leadership matters, and that we can make a difference while making a living. Due to this philosophy and the hard work of our team members, we have experienced continuous growth since inception. In 2021 i3 became 100% team member owned.
