Use Cases

Primary & Secondary Education

Provide educational software for your students, from 3D simulations to interactive quizzes and beyond.

Designed with educators in mind, so it is easily integrated into any classroom, even without expert knowledge.

With support for Web, VR, and PC platforms, learning is accessible on any device.

Operational Training

Equip firefighters, police, military, emergency medical teams with immersive, scenario-based training.

From emergency response drills to tactical coordination, our simulations can prepare teams to act quickly and effectively under pressure.

Skilled Trades Equipment and Safety Training

Allow workers to explore, operate, and troubleshoot equipment before stepping onto the job site.

Reduce both costs and accidents while preparing your workers for real-world conditions.

Medical Procedures & Equipment Training

Simulate medical procedures, equipment use, and patient care in a safe, repeatable environment.

Learners can practice critical skills hands-on without risk, building confidence before entering clinical settings.

The Approach

1. We listen to your needs

Every project begins with taking the time to fully understand your goals, needs, and challenges. Through initial meetings and requirement gathering, we align on the vision and identify what success looks like for you. This ensures that the end product is not only functional, but directly addresses your real-world needs.

1. We listen

2. We collaborate on an approach

We believe the best ideas come from collaboration. Together, we explore possible solutions, share design concepts, and map out the user experience. Internally, our team brainstorms and evaluates options, while keeping you closely involved at every step. This partnership allows us to validate ideas early and shape a solution that is practical, innovative, and tailored to your organization.

2. We collaborate

3. We develop, test, and iterate

Once we have a clear plan, we assemble the right team of developers, designers, and subject-matter experts. Using Agile methodology, we work in sprints — delivering progress frequently rather than all at once. You’ll have the chance to review builds, provide feedback, and see your product evolve week by week. We also test with real users whenever possible, ensuring the software is intuitive, effective, and reliable.

3. We develop

4. We release and support

A product launch is not the end, it’s the beginning of its life in the real world. After release, we provide the level of support that fits your needs: from full ongoing maintenance and feature expansion to occasional updates of training materials. We remain committed to ensuring your solution continues to perform, adapt, and deliver value long after it goes live.

About

Ivo van der Marel

Founder

With over 15 years of experience, I’ve developed products across Mobile, VR, and Web, ranging from simulations and training tools to entertainment experiences.

As an educator, I have worked across three continents, with students and professionals from ages 5 to 65. Across subjects and learning methods, one insight has stood out: intrinsic motivation is the most powerful driver of learning and knowledge retention. To teach effectively, we must first spark the desire to learn.

At Ember Fox, we apply this principle by leveraging gamification and interactive design. This approach helps boost learning effectiveness and engagement. Working with a team of experts in game development, design, and education, we guide clients in using technology to create transformative learning experiences.
