Virtual and augmented reality

We get strategic. Virtual and augmented reality can be incredible learning tools, but only when they’re tied to real outcomes, not just fancy headsets.

That’s where we come in. We partner with specialist providers to design virtual and augmented learning experiences that are smart, safe, and aligned to your goals. Think of us as the translators between tech and learning.

High-stakes practice without the high stakes

VR and AR shine in high-consequence environments—where failure in the real world isn’t an option. We’ve designed simulations for teams in transport, maintenance, and health, helping people prepare for pressure without the risk.

A standout example? For Metro Trains Sydney, we helped design a VR simulation for train recovery. It gave staff the chance to practice rare, critical incidents in a realistic, controlled environment.

We’ve also supported:

  • Maintenance workers to sharpen safety protocols

  • Teams in high-risk industries to rehearse emergency procedures

  • Frontline workers to navigate complex environments, confidently

Not just for hard hats

We’re also experimenting with VR and AR in soft skills training. Picture this:

  • Practising tough conversations

  • Diagnosing a patient

  • Handling a tricky customer

The goal? Make learning feel real. So when the pressure’s on, your people know what to do.

VR and AR as part of the bigger picture

VR and AR aren’t the full meal. They’re a powerful side dish. That’s why we weave immersive experiences into broader learning campaigns and multimodal programs—so the tech enhances the message, not distracts from it.

Done right, virtual and augmented reality:

  • Boost engagement and retention

  • Provide safe, repeatable practice

  • Support behaviour change in context

Done poorly, they’re a waste of budget and bandwidth. We know the difference.

Let’s keep it real

Immersive learning doesn’t need to be complex. It just needs to be purposeful. Whether you’re exploring virtual options for the first time or looking to scale something that works, we can help you shape the experience from start to finish.

We’ll align your VR or AR investment to:

  • Strategic learning objectives

  • Human-centred design principles

  • A clear plan for impact and evaluation

Next stop: smarter, safer, more immersive learning

Get in touch to explore how virtual and augmented reality can plug into your learning strategy. We’ll help you make it practical, purposeful, and surprisingly good.
