How we deliver: practice that reaches your team without PTR in the room

Run it yourself, practise in a browser, add a facilitator by video call, or work with a trainer you know.

The question

Do we need PTR in the room?

A safety lead wants nurses rehearsing before the next roster. An L&D manager has teams in several states. A council trainer already runs the workshop. Each wants the practice, not a dependency on our calendar. Every program supports different delivery formats.

Nurses discuss a handover at a ward station, a headset on the nearer nurse, a corridor behind them. — Nurses discuss a handover at the station.

A front-desk supervisor stands at a counter facing a guest, practising the exchange in a simulated arrivals hall. — A supervisor faces a guest at the desk.

Every way it reaches the team

Run it yourself with PTR VR Library titles

PTR VR Library titles run on standalone headsets inside a workshop your own facilitator leads. Your team takes turns in the headset and your facilitator runs the debrief. PTR provides the titles and agrees suitable hardware with you when planning.

Practice on a monitor, a laptop or a phone. An AI roleplay scenario for AI roleplay and practice. — Practice across a monitor, laptop and phone.

AI roleplay in a browser

Self-paced practice with an AI roleplay partner on a laptop or phone. Staff read the brief, talk it through, get feedback against set criteria and run it again. PTR provides the scenarios and the criteria; nobody needs to book a room.

Remote facilitation

Your team practises on site or at home, and a PTR facilitator joins by video call to brief the group and run the debrief. PTR provides the facilitator, the scenarios and the debrief structure; you provide the room and the people.

A facilitator briefs participants in a workshop room.

In person through partner trainers

A trainer or facilitator your organisation already works with, or a trainer PTR introduces, delivers the session with PTR’s scenarios, headsets or browser practice, and PTR’s preparation for the trainer. The trainer brings the room and the facilitation; PTR brings the scenarios, the headsets or the browser practice, and the preparation. Working with PTR as a trainer or facilitator.

Knowledge twins for expert access

When the expert cannot be in the room, a Didymo twin answers from their approved material and hands over to the person when judgement is needed. See digital twins.

The debrief

Wherever the practice runs, the conversation afterwards is the point

Each format keeps the same shape: a briefing, a turn, then a debrief on what was tried and what to do next time.

People stand in a plain room, a woman gesturing as she speaks, wooden stools beside them, comparing the choices they made in a scenario. — People talk it over in a plain room.

A participant discusses an XR rehearsal with a facilitator. — A participant talks it through with a facilitator.

The evidence

Results from programs that ran in a room and on a screen

Google and Mater Education each measured the result reported for their program.

Peer reviewed: Google, ACM CHI 2024

A peer-reviewed paper evaluated VR inclusion training led by PTR co-founder Leonie Sanderson and built with Equal Reality, a subsidiary of People Tech Revolution. The 7 trainees who returned the optional survey gave 82% average agreement that it was better than Google’s standard DEI training.

Client evaluation: Mater Education

Mater Education ran its speaking-up program in VR and trained its own facilitators to run the technology. In Mater’s own program evaluation, over 96% of participants wanted more training in VR.
