Virtual Heroes was founded in 2004. Thanks to the efforts of our impressive team of creative, technical, and artistic talent, we quickly established ourselves at the nexus of cutting-edge game technologies and world-class production values.
In 2009, Virtual Heroes Inc. was acquired by Applied Research Associates, Inc. Today, our team members in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Orlando, Florida, create collaborative interactive learning solutions for government and military agencies, industrial and commercial innovators, and healthcare leaders. We design, develop, and deploy both live training solutions and synthetic virtual environments, leveraging the collective experience and expertise of a dedicated team of programmers, scientists, and physicists.
