Which device does what ## Match the reality to the device A scenario that replaces the room needs a headset; one that keeps it needs a headset that sees the room; an added layer reaches a phone or a pair of glasses.

A headset session beside the equipment trolley. ### Your headsets, ours, a partner’s, or none [Headsets and equipment](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training/headsets-and-equipment) sets out who brings the headsets, how to clean them between users and what IT will ask. Practice with an [AI roleplay partner](https://peopletechrevolution.com/ai/ai-roleplay-practice) runs in a browser with no headset at all. A facilitator briefs participants in a workshop room. ### Which headset for which program [PTR VR Library](https://peopletechrevolution.com/xr/ptr-vr-library) titles run on standalone headsets such as Meta Quest and PICO, so the [training programs](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training) built on them start there. A scenario set in your real room is a custom build for a headset that sees it, scoped as an [XR fast build](https://peopletechrevolution.com/fast-builds/xr-ar-mr-vr-builds). Questions ## What do buyers ask before choosing a device? Short answers, each with a link to the page that answers in full. Inspecting the headset lenses. ### Do we need to buy headsets at all? Sessions can run on headsets you own, through a partner trainer, or with no headset in a browser. Who supplies headsets for a session PTR runs is settled when the pilot is planned; [how a pilot runs](https://peopletechrevolution.com/training/how-a-pilot-runs) covers the stages. A room gives way to a virtual landscape. ### VR, mixed reality or augmented reality: which do we need? Decide by how much of the real room the lesson needs in view. [VR, AR or MR](https://peopletechrevolution.com/learn/xr/vr-vs-ar-vs-mr) sets out the difference, and the table above names the devices for each. Practice on a laptop, monitor or phone. ### Can the same scenario reach people without a headset? It can: PTR’s practice, twin and augmented reality products run in a browser, and [phones and tablets](https://peopletechrevolution.com/xr/devices/phones-and-tablets) carry an augmented reality layer through the camera. A participant and facilitator talk after a run. ### Start with the devices you have Tell us what your team owns, where the sessions will run and how large a group is.
