FloChart™- A Monthly Review of Visual Purple Technologies

Charting a Path with FloChart™
Our proprietary FloChart™ system is an advanced middleware application that empowers non-programmers to build complex simulations. This concept is a cornerstone of Visual Purple’s production philosophy.
From a learning and engagement perspective FloChart™ is used to create a flexible roadmap for our simulations. This roadmap allows content experts to create learning and training simulations that are highly realistic and engaging. By allowing the content experts (Instructional Designers & SMEs) to become the “programmers,” FloChart™ puts the real experts—not computer scientists—in control. FloChart™ gives these experts the tools they need to create simulations that are complex, adapt to user behavior, track users’ actions and inactions, provide mentoring and feedback, and synch with Learning Management Systems. This flexibility results in highly effective training and learning experiences, all the while honoring diverse learning styles and incorporating the magic ingredient: Story!
Technically speaking, FloChart™ is a fifth generation authoring language used for advanced modeling and design. This capability enables skilled technicians to rapidly create realistic virtual worlds. FloChart™ is a perfect tool for creating intelligent Non Player Characters (NPCs) and authentic experiences. Using database, stochastic or neural net-like drivers to animate the simulation experience FloChart™ provides highly flexible behavioral intelligence for our simulations. The FloChart™ approach and authoring language have even been used to uncover unknown and unforeseen relationships between discretely modeled systems—a capability valued by clients looking to gain a competitive edge in either training or systems analysis.
