  • Health education
  • Mining education, training and production
  • Sports industry
  • Architectural visualisation

We work with clients to:

  • Provide insight into where XR can add real value in their context
  • Develop comprehensive strategies for the deployment and utilisation of XR solutions
  • Design and build research and development projects and proofs of concept that can scale into production

Vision, Mission & Values

Vision
To enable opportunities and successful implementation of innovative immersive technologies, with XR at the core, across education and industry.

Mission
We provide specialised consultation and development services to tertiary education institutions, the mining industry, and the architectural environment, and we aim to expand to other industries where XR can drive meaningful improvement in learning, safety and productivity.

Values
We are guided by the following values:

  • Educate clients on XR technology and its relevant use cases in their industry
  • Provide clear, honest insight into the benefits and limitations of XR
  • “Don’t reinvent the wheel” – where a robust existing solution meets our quality and safety requirements, we will recommend it
  • Provide scalable, accessible and sensible solutions that fit the client’s infrastructure and budget
  • Develop high-quality applications that address real challenges in the client’s context
  • Start small, measure impact, and scale successful solutions

  • Strong emphasis on sustainability and maintainability, ensuring solutions remain useful beyond initial pilots

Projects and use cases

Below are examples of the types of projects we design and support:

  • Health education
    Immersive simulations of clinical procedures and patient interactions to support undergraduate and postgraduate training, with scenarios that can be repeated safely and consistently.
  • Mining education and training
    Virtual safety training environments that replicate high-risk conditions, allowing trainees to practise hazard identification, emergency procedures and operational tasks without exposure to real-world danger.
  • Mining production
    Visualisation and simulation tools for underground layouts, equipment and processes to support planning, communication and decision-making.
  • Architecture and the built environment
    Interactive walkthroughs of building designs in VR, enabling architects, clients and stakeholders to experience spaces at scale, identify issues early and improve design decisions.
  • Sports and performance
    XR tools to support tactical understanding, decision-making and communication in training environments, complementing traditional coaching methods.

Clients and partnerships

XRi Solutions collaborates with:

  • Tertiary education institutions and training units
  • Organisations in the mining and resources sector
  • Architectural practices and built-environment professionals
  • Other industry partners exploring XR for training, visualisation and innovation

We are open to partnerships for research, joint development and pilot projects, particularly where immersive technologies can contribute to improved learning, safety and operational performance.

Applications

We have a suite of existing XR applications that address specific training and education challenges across different disciplines. These applications have been developed in partnership with domain experts and are available to external users on a subscription or licensing basis. A current list of available applications, along with detailed descriptions and deployment options, is available on request or via our applications brochure.
