How Oncio works
Our VR & AR immersive training platform future proofs your training by leveraging existing 2D content, utilising bespoke AI enriched assets and creating memorable virtual and augmented reality experiences, available across a variety of distribution and learning formats.
Transform your training via Oncio
Our dedicated Studio & Platform teams work closely with clients to optimise existing content and develop effective training programs. Oncio’s flexibility also allows your in-house teams to create & concierge additional modules.
Client-first philosophy
Start Beyond does not restrict clients to specific media or a limited framework. Oncio supports traditional 2D formats such as videos & stills, as well as 3D models, 360° videos, live action, animations, CG environments and various gamified interactions.
Professional content creation
Start Beyond combines clients’ subject matter expertise with our story-telling and instructional design experience, and hosts regular client WIPs to ensure transparency and alignment throughout the process.
Immersive learning accessible on all devices
The Oncio learner app deploys turnkey, customised programs to meet your training goals, ensuring your team can easily access their courses and complete their training.
Cross-platform accessibility
No IT knowledge required. Accessing the training content is as simple as launching the app on VR headsets, mobile phone, or laptop.
Solo Learner and Lecture Learner formats
The Oncio VR platform scales to your needs. We support everything from self-paced, individual learning to remote facilitator-led, group sessions to full classrooms, controlling and monitoring up to 50 headsets simultaneously.

Real-time trainer control
Trainers can monitor and control each learner's experience in real time through an intuitive desktop facilitator app.
Engaging content across a variety of formats
Create impactful training scenarios with Oncio’s rich media capabilities
Develop training that puts your learners inside the action. With Oncio, you can design scenarios that blend 360° video & live-action footage, 3D models, computer-generated environments and AI enhanced content with 2D videos and material to equip your team with the skills and hands-on experience they need.
360° live-action video.
Immerse learners in realistic role-play scenarios that build emotional connection and boost knowledge retention, preparing your team for the field.
3D models.
Complex ideas are brought to life by integrating 3D elements and turning abstract concepts into tangible, visual experiences that are easy for learners to grasp.
Scanned 3D environment.
Replicate real physical spaces using advanced LiDAR and photogrammetry technology. Explore realistic simulations remotely, through virtual tours.
CG environment.
Turn sites and workplaces into accurate 3D environments, giving learners a realistic space to train, fail safely, and master critical skills.
AI-generated CG content.
Evoke visceral responses through first-person perspectives. Simplify complex topics with dramatic AI graphics that make your training memorable.
Traditional 2D media.
Image, video, audio, and text formats are supported. Oncio combines these with immersive media to give the 2D content a new lease of life.
New ways of interacting with content
Boost participation and knowledge retention with interactive learning. Each interaction is fully customisable to accelerate your team’s skill development. You can utilise quizzes as well as other interactive features which are unique to immersive learning.
Explore a selection of our interactive and gamified immersive activities:
Train situational awareness by actively scanning realistic 360° footage to correctly identify specific items within the location. This feature is a useful device for learning outcomes such as identifying hazards, recognising key objects or spotting pertinent areas of focus e.g. the appropriate equipment when assembling an emergency kit.
Develop critical decision-making skills by navigating real situations, followed by an interface offering various choices, and experiencing the direct consequences of your choices. The option the user selects determines whether they successfully address the situation or not, learning through trial and error.
Boost engagement, build muscle memory and test knowledge in context through fun, gamified practice challenges tailored to specific learning outcomes.
Reinforce foundational knowledge, ensure comprehension and highlight correct sequencing and processes with quick checks and immediate feedback.
Assess baseline knowledge and confidence with an introductory survey, and then evaluate where knowledge has been gained and where improvement is required with a post-training survey.

Don’t take our word for it. See how forward-thinking organisations are using the Oncio platform to elevate training and succeed in achieving learning outcomes.
We’ve seen significantly higher engagement and far more meaningful classroom discussions after students complete VR training. Being immersed in realistic care situations reshapes how learners think about responsibility, consent and choice, because they can directly experience the consequences of their decisions.
Mardi Riley Through the roll out of this immersive course, St John Ambulance Victoria can continue to equip our students with the skills and real-world scenarios they need to improve cardiac arrest response times and ultimately survival rates.
Gordon Botwright We’ve been able to give students a safe way to practise these skills before they step onto a hospital ward. Students consistently tell us the experience has left them feeling more confident and better prepared for practice.
Jacqui Pich Through VR training, the benefit is that our team members can practice the best way to act and respond in what can be challenging and possibly confronting situations. We would rather our team experience this via VR, which acts like a 'flight simulator', rather than being put into situations for the first time in real life.
Rebecca Todd It has provided our Sales Team with a fantastic way of giving customers and clients a look inside our facilities, while greatly reducing the reliance on our staff to provide face to face tours... At events and activations, the VR always draws a crowd and gives the public a great insight into the RYCO brand and our processes.
