BTR Case Studies

As industry professionals who understand the work, the roles, and the training required, we’ve designed technology and consulting solutions that are built to drive measurable transformation in your business.

Pilot Program Showcase

We’re proud to have completed our first VR pilot program for Mobile Plant Mechanics, delivered in collaboration with trainees from Liebherr Mining, MLG, and HYDAC Group. The program included three days of immersive VR training, followed by a hands-on workshop that simulated a real mining environment. BTR’s VR training solutions are designed to support clients to eliminate operational bottlenecks, enhance safety outcomes, and accelerate workforce capability.

From Virtual to Reality

After three days of immersive VR training for Mobile Plant Mechanics, participants transitioned into a hands-on workshop that simulated a real mining environment. In collaboration with IEES, who opened their workshop doors for this experience, trainees from our early adopter partners were able to reinforce their learning through practical applications of the units completed in VR.

Careers Expo

We had an incredible time at the Careers Expo Perth from May 15–18! It was inspiring to see the professionals of the future dive into our VR solutions with such curiosity and enthusiasm. Thanks to everyone who stopped by — the future looks bright!
