Mind Shift VR

Mindshift VR offers interactive VR experiences in virtual workplaces, where users navigate situations such as handling microaggressions, recognising unconscious bias, inclusive hiring and promoting inclusivity among team members. With straightforward options, Mindshift VR apps are designed to slot into workshops and other training. The PTR VR Library currently includes two Mind Shift titles.

  • Mind Shift: Glass Ceilings ("A meeting starts. Ideas get raised, dismissed, then repeated back by someone else to a warmer reception.")
  • Mind Shift: Inclusive Perspectives ("An ordinary chat by the water cooler turns to who deserves a promotion, and why.")

Who it was created with

PTR's published materials do not name an external partner organisation for Mindshift VR, unlike Everyday Inclusion (Cornell University), Finding Common Ground (an unnamed Australian bank) or Lift VR (Kinspace). Mindshift VR is its own vertical within the PTR VR Library, alongside Equal Reality VR and Lift VR.

What a session looks like

Mind Shift titles generally run between 4 and 10 minutes each, in line with the rest of the Library. PTR's published case studies describe Library sessions delivered alongside a facilitated group debrief rather than viewed on their own.

Where it has been used

PTR drew on its Mind Shift VR modules, alongside Everyday Inclusion, for Etihad Airways' cabin crew inclusion pilot, tackling microaggressions, racial and gender bias and allyship, delivered alongside facilitated discussion and reflection sessions.

Access and data

Some Library features need an internet connection. PTR states it does not collect personal data through the Library, though it may collect data for the purpose of app improvement and analytics.
