Do you do simulations?

Most visualizations are designed to better understand past trends and future projections over many years, even decades.  We explore an issue using multiple applications: videos, GIS maps, trend projections, comparative graphics, and occasionally spreadsheets.

Why is sustainability so important?

Sustainability has been defined as meeting the needs of today’s society and doing so for generations to come. Scientists say that we have already reached threshold levels on several resources, which could cause those ecological systems to collapse.

How long have you been in business?

We opened the SimCenter in our current location in July 2011.  The SimCenter went through several phases, with a Prototype event in 2008 and a Demonstration month in September 2009 at the New School of Architecture and Design.

How are you better than a hotel ballroom?

You could rent all the computers, network, video projection, sound system and install and integrate them into a hotel ballroom – but the cost of equipment leasing and staff set-up time would far exceed our existing set-up and day rates.
If you must have the SimCenter experience in your ballroom event, then fill in your Event Request and check the “off-site event” option.

Parking and food is difficult to find, and expensive.

  • There are several dozen parking lots within walking distance in downtown San Diego that range from $5 - $30 a day.  
  • There are dozens of simple lunchtime venues and many quality restaurants within a few blocks of the SimCemter.

Why should I go through the bother of using this technology? This seems so complex?

  • There are few simple issues today, and many have interconnected and related parts.  The SimCenter allows you to see these connections all at the same time, and enables your team to add any missing content in real time. 
  • Single screen PowerPoint presentations are linear, where the SimCenter enables parallel and lateral thinking at its best.

What qualifies you to do this better than anyone else? Why are you better?

Put your team in a creative, surround environment – enable them to add content and options -- and we have seen synergy occur (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts).  The SimCenter facilitates this process by its very design.

How will the SimCenter help me and my business?

The SimCenter enables your team to visualize the trends and projections of your market and industry.  The surround environment enables accelerated collective understanding – you all learn faster together.  By literally seeing the relationships between issues, you can make more informed decisions quicker.

Can you record events at the SimCenter?

  • Yes, we can capture video via
    • Simple flip cameras (Standard 4:3 frame, Format: MP4, Quality: 640x480 pixels) or
    • Camcorder:HDV 1080/60i 16:9 frame, 1080x720 pixels. 
  • Additional technical staff would be required.
