ARD Consulting

We focus on developing an effective and unique lesson plan to bring your curriculum to life using AR/VR technology. Mixed Reality Technology is part of the next wave of the digital revolution, but it is being underutilised both in schools and industry. The needs of hardware, software and pedagogy often mean that those schools that can afford the technology often take premade solutions that only reach the lowest hanging fruit. We are based in Western Australia, but work with schools across Australia, Indonesia, South Africa and the United States. 

That is why at ARD consulting will brainstorm with you, and offer advice, so you get the most from your ideas and goals. From VR Hardware packaging and training to a school wide approach. If you can imagine it, we will develop it.  Simple. ​

ARD can supply professional development or training for staff as well as engaging curriculum linked lessons that make connections across the curriculum, whether it is a simple 360 photo gallery or a fully Augmented curriculum.​

We provide the most cost-effective solutions to achieve your design goals.  Our team are very adept at producing incredible results on a fixed budget and timeline.​​

Whatever your needs, we have a solution for you.​
