About the Primal/Curiious partnership:

When Primal Pictures wanted to find the right virtual reality (VR) partner to develop an immersive learning tool utilizing Primal’s best-in-class 3D anatomical model, the company undertook an extensive search before collaborating with the immersive learning experts at Curiious.

“We were looking for a partner who could provide that expertise, and they [Curiious] have an amazing reputation,” says Laura Taylor, Primal Pictures’ Senior Enterprise Solutions Executive – APAC. “…when we met the [Curiious] team, we realized their approach to VR fit perfectly with our goals for bringing our interactive solutions into the immersive space.”

With approximately 2,000 educational institutions around the world already using Primal Pictures 3D anatomy products on desktop PCs, laptops, and mobile devices, Taylor believes Primal VR will enable those institutions to move seamlessly into the VR space. Brett Heil, founder of Curiious, agrees. “Proficiency is best enabled through repetition, but the use of cadavers and props, while essential, understandably limits the potential for repeat lessons,” he says. “With Primal VR, lessons in an immersive environment can be repeated over and over again with no disposable resource.”

Curiious is an Immersive Learning Company focused on setting new benchmarks in learning and measurement. For over 20 years, it has used creativity and technology to solve problems, grow businesses, and transform communication. With offices in Sydney and Los Angeles, they create outcome-driven immersive experiences backed by the latest technology, innovative design, and strategic thinking to captivate, inspire, and educate audiences.
