In motion
Selected XR projects.
The showreel includes VR rehabilitation, clinical training, games, simulations and education projects built by Nudge Reality.
Who we are
XR development for specialist settings.
Nudge Reality builds VR, AR and mixed reality software with clinicians, trainers, educators and product teams. Most projects start with a practical problem: a task to practise, a procedure to explain, a scenario to test or a product idea that needs evidence.
Healthcare and rehabilitation
Immersive healthcare work shaped around clinical context, usability evidence and product-stage requirements.
Healthcare XR workTraining and simulation
Scenario-based practice for skills, procedures and decisions that are difficult, costly or risky to rehearse in the real world.
Training simulationsGames, WebXR and tools
Interactive worlds, browser-based prototypes and supporting tools that make immersive ideas easier to share and test.
WebXR developmentHealthcare XR
Healthcare projects from rehabilitation to clinical training.
Healthcare is a major part of Nudge Reality's work: VR rehabilitation, digital health R&D, clinical training and medical-device development support.
We help teams define the intended use, interaction design, stakeholder review process and evidence needed for the next product decision.
Healthcare R&D
CorteXR
VR rehabilitation software that turns everyday stroke-recovery tasks into structured, repeatable practice.

Digital health R&D
THRIVE-FND
Immersive hypnotherapy R&D shaped with NHS clinical partners for Functional Neurological Disorder pathways.

Education technology
Lesson Spark
AR learning activities for children with ASD, designed around attention, visual cues and parent-teacher feedback.
View education workEvidence for immersive learning
Where immersive software adds value.
Recent reviews and enterprise studies point in the same direction: immersive training can improve speed, confidence, knowledge and transfer when it is designed around active practice, feedback and task context.
Enterprise training
4x
faster than classroom training
PwC's VR soft-skills study found learners completed training up to four times faster than classroom learners, while reporting stronger confidence and focus.
Learning efficiency
+30%
more efficient per training hour
A 2024 World Bank meta-analysis reported that students exposed to VR training were up to 30% more efficient than students using traditional training.
Healthcare education
Better knowledge retention
than traditional teaching
A 2024 JMIR meta-analysis of immersive nursing education found learners retained more knowledge than learners taught with traditional methods.
Procedural training
Better transfer
from practice to performance
A 2024 systematic review found immersive procedural training improved learning overall, with the strongest results in transferring knowledge into use.

Results depend on the task, audience and design quality, so each Nudge Reality project is shaped and tested around its own context.
Where VR helps
The DICE test for immersive training.
VR earns its place when real-world practice is Dangerous, Impossible, Counterproductive or Expensive. In those situations, immersive software can give people repeatable, observable practice without adding risk, disruption or unnecessary cost.
Dangerous
Practise procedures, decisions or environments where early mistakes could put people, equipment or operations at risk.
Impossible
Recreate rare, remote, time-sensitive or large-scale scenarios that are difficult to arrange on demand.
Counterproductive
Train without interrupting care, production, teaching or confidence while skills are still forming.
Expensive
Reduce reliance on scarce equipment, specialist staff, travel, facilities or reset-heavy training setups.
DICE does not mean every problem needs VR. It helps identify where immersion can do something more useful than slides, video or standard e-learning.
Games, training and simulation
XR projects beyond healthcare.
Some projects are clinical. Others are games, simulations, classroom tools or operational training. What links them is interaction design: helping people make decisions, practise and learn by doing.
Simulation
DroneOps VR
Drone training simulation for hazard awareness, flight planning and operational decision-making.
Education technology
StageCraft VR
VR theatre education for rehearsing staging, movement, lighting and production decisions.
Healthcare training
TrainTrach
Mixed reality tracheostomy training using direct hand tracking, tactile props and a realistic bedside simulation.
Clinical training
StrokeID
Stroke and TIA assessment training with patient avatars, acute-care settings and structured decision scenarios.
Where it helps
Common XR use cases.
Realistic simulations
Immersive scenarios that resemble the decisions, constraints and pressures people meet in the real world.
Team interaction
Shared spaces for remote collaboration, group tasks and communication as part of the experience.
Safer learning
Practise difficult tasks without risking people, equipment or confidence while skills are still forming.
Situational roleplay
Scenarios with digital characters, changing conditions and room for different behaviours and outcomes.
