Didymo / Avatar

Meet a digital twin face to face

A live face on a phone or laptop screen, answering from approved material, for the conversations that need one.

What the avatar is

The twin, with the face of the person

The avatar puts a live face on the same conversation. The visitor sees the professional’s likeness speak the answer, on the phone or laptop screen they already have.

A teacher sits in a classroom mid-sentence, the kind of practice partner a learner practises a difficult conversation with before doing it for real

Before the face, the structure

Before a twin has a likeness it has approved knowledge, boundaries and the character built around them. The face is the last layer, and every answer it speaks comes from the approved material behind it.

Consent and likeness, settled first

A twin of a real person needs consent, copyright and governance settled before it speaks. Data is processed in the locations and under the terms set out in our governance.

When to use the avatar

For the conversations that need a face

Some visitors want to see who they are talking to: a first meeting, a sensitive question, an introduction before the real one.

An introduction before the introduction

A prospective client, student or member meets the professional’s face and manner before they meet the person, and arrives at the real meeting already oriented.

A face that knows when to step aside

The avatar answers from approved material and hands over to the person when a conversation needs them, with the context carried across. It can book that time from inside the conversation.

The other ways in

Same twin, same material, a different door

The avatar is one way into the same conversation. A visitor can move to chat, a voice call or a booked meeting without starting again.

Chat. Type the question and read the answer.

The live instance

PTR’s CEO, Simon Lowe, as a twin with his own face

Simon’s Twin runs on Didymo. It answers the questions people bring to People Tech Revolution with his face and in his voice, at any hour. It is a conversational digital twin, not a model of a machine.

Open Simon’s Twin as a live avatar and ask about PTR’s work. When a question needs Simon himself, the twin says so and offers to book him.

Is the avatar live?

It is. The avatar speaks each answer as the conversation happens, drawn from the approved material, in the twin’s own voice.

Who decides what the avatar may say?

The owner. The approved-source list is the boundary of what the twin may say, and the owner reviews and corrects answers over time.

Does the visitor need a headset?

The avatar runs on a phone or laptop screen in the browser, with nothing to install. Headset versions of a talking character belong to PTR’s XR work.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Keia Hobbs, MD
PTR demonstrated a profound understanding of the intricacies of human behaviour, crucial in crafting meaningful and impactful experiences. I wholeheartedly endorse PTR and their commitment to creating impactful experiences.

Martine McCash
Over the past six months, XRHealth Australia has worked closely with People Tech Revolution to co-design innovative immersive applications... supporting workplace mental health and recovery in the transport industry. Simon and his team have been exceptional collaborators: creative, responsive and genuinely committed to human-centred design. Their ability to understand clinical and operational needs and translate complex ideas into safe, realistic VR environments has made the partnership both productive and enjoyable. Together, we are developing practical, evidence-informed tools that build confidence, resilience and coping strategies through structured, real-world scenarios. I highly recommend People Tech Revolution as a trusted technology partner.

From the initial concept discussions to the final execution, PTR demonstrated a commitment to guiding us through what was completely new territory. Their approach was structured and transparent and they always let us know what was achievable given the timeframe and budget.

I don't think role plays will ever cut it again in this space. Participants are able to empathise and discuss the experiences... with detail that just wouldn't be possible without actually experiencing it themselves.

They jump back, step away, they gasp, they try to find their voice, they ask to be included and when dismissed, they physically shrink. And when they can't do any of those things, the learning sticks and the real conversations begin.
