Virtual Desktop

The virtual desktop is the player-facing interface wherein the exercise takes place. It is designed to look and feel like a familiar digital workspace, immersing players in a crisis scenario as if it were taking place in real time.

All injects, channels, and persona interactions are delivered here, creating a safe but realistic training environment.

Players (i.e. the training audience) can interact with your exercise via any device with a web browser. After log in they'll see the virtual desktop.

Note that all the channels are configurable by the designer. They design which channels to use, how they should be named and what icon should represent them and more.

Multi-channel exercise

In the virtual desktop, you'll be working in a multi-channel exercise meaning that communications will come at you via various applications as it does in real life.

Every time you see a red flashing dot that means you have a notification, indicating new information to check in a channel.

Note that the icons you see might be different from those shown above because the designer of the exercise is able to customise and configure the interface. Even if the icons and images are different, it will work the same way as described in these articles.
