About Us

Partners

These are the studios and organisations we collaborate with to build our products and deliver projects, not the clients we build them for. For the organisations we have delivered work for, see Who we work with and our case studies.

Some of these collaborations produced a standalone product we still offer, like Lift VR. Others were project-specific, brought in for the expertise a particular training programme needed, from bias-awareness content to food science. What they have in common is that we built something together, rather than one of us delivering to the other.

Kinspace

Kinspace is described on our site as our "diversity partner" for Lift VR, the leadership programme that places users in a lift and asks them to personalise and adapt their own responses to sensitive situations.

Equal Reality

Equal Reality is a Sydney-based, DEI-focused VR development studio and a long-running partner of PTR's founders, a relationship that predates PTR itself and has run since at least 2017. It built the VR modules examined in the independent, peer-reviewed research on our work pages, including the Google CHI 2024 case study and the Mayo Clinic nurse-leader studies. Today, Equal Reality's DEI VR library is distributed as a stand-alone product line inside PTR's VR library, and PTR manages Equal Reality's web and product presence. Equal Reality remains its own company.

The Ageing Revolution

The Ageing Revolution is the Brisbane company PTR's two founders started in 2015, focused on changing the conversation about ageing, and it continues its own work today as a separate company from PTR. The collaboration is still live: from The Ageing Revolution's work came Carked It!, the Good Design Award-winning card game about death and dying, whose online version is now in development and user testing. The full history is on Our story.

Grit Leadership

We delivered a set of VR training sessions in collaboration with Grit Leadership, using our Everyday Inclusion module to help surface systemic bias and shift leadership mindsets.

Utano Global

We delivered a two-day immersive VR training pilot in collaboration with Utano Global, using content from our VR library to build bias awareness.

FoodStream Network

We developed the Cook It food-education programme in collaboration with FoodStream Network, combining hands-on cooking with lessons in nutrition, science and cultural appreciation.

Advance Queensland

Advance Queensland supported a VR training pilot we co-developed for a Queensland hospital network, alongside the hospital's own foundation.

The client organisations behind that work, and the results they saw, are covered on Who we work with and in our case studies, not on this page. If you are looking for how we structure a collaboration from first workshop to delivery, that process is set out on Our approach.
