The opportunity

Design for the moment that matters.

What breaks today

Slide-based compliance training tests recall but rarely reveals how teams communicate, position themselves or respond under pressure.

The presence pattern

A facilitator or scenario character leads a shared simulation, pauses at decision points and supports a structured debrief tied to local procedure.

Design requirements

Make it useful before making it magical.

  1. 01

    Never obstruct the task

    Position the presence and references so workers retain sight lines, movement and access to controls.

  2. 02

    Respect authority

    Make clear who can advise, who can approve and which local safety procedures always take precedence.

  3. 03

    Capture operational proof

    Measure completion, errors, escalation and repeat visits rather than engagement alone.

Operator runbook

Design the complete service—not only the scene.

  1. 01

    Frame the service

    EHS and workforce-development teams should document the intended audience, room, session length, approved content or knowledge, human escalation path and the current baseline for decision accuracy.

  2. 02

    Invite with clarity

    Before the safety training experience begins, explain why the presence is there, whether it is live, recorded or AI-assisted, what it can do and how a participant can leave or reach a person.

  3. 03

    Operate the moment

    A facilitator or scenario character leads a shared simulation, pauses at decision points and supports a structured debrief tied to local procedure. The operator should be able to observe state, recover the session and protect the physical activity already happening in the room.

  4. 04

    Close the loop

    End with a visible next step, capture only consented information and record decision accuracy, team communication, debrief actions. Review failures and handoffs before repeating or expanding the experience.

Pilot scorecard

Prove a real outcome in the room.

01

Decision accuracy

Define the starting event, completion event and current-workflow baseline for decision accuracy. Count only observable outcomes.

02

Team communication

Review team communication by audience, session stage and operator. Use the pattern to find where confidence is gained or lost.

03

Debrief actions

Set a minimum threshold for debrief actions before launch. Name the owner and recovery action when a session misses it.

Decision gates

Know when presence is—and is not—the answer.

01

Presence must earn the room

If the same safety training outcome can be achieved by a well-designed phone, kiosk or conventional video call with equal trust and clarity, use the simpler tool.

02

The boundary must stay visible

Do not launch safety training until participants can identify the role, source, live or synthetic state, information boundary and human fallback without guessing.

03

The operation must survive novelty

EHS and workforce-development teams should be able to run, pause, recover and measure the experience repeatedly. Do not scale while success depends on a founder or engineer standing beside it.

Evidence status. This page is a product-design field brief, not a claim that Reality Relay has already produced the stated customer outcome. Replace the hypothesis with measured pilot evidence before presenting it as proof.

Build the first pilot

Start narrow enough to learn.

For Safety training, begin with one real environment, one defined audience and one repeatable interaction. Establish who operates the experience, what information or tools it can access and exactly when a person must take control.

Reality Relay Platform coordinates content, session state, approved intelligence and operations. Reality Relay Spaces give the experience a calibrated physical endpoint with intentional scale, eye line, sound and grounding. The pilot should earn expansion by improving the scorecard above—not by novelty alone.

From use case to operating proof

Build one presence
people choose to use.

We help design partners turn a valuable use case into a calibrated, measurable pilot.
