Mobile experiences

A build that starts from the phone already in your people’s pockets: touch, a small screen, and use on the move.

The moment

One thumb free, on a floor that does not stop

A floor supervisor at a distribution centre has a new starter beside her, a forklift reversing behind them, and the induction on a laptop in an office she will not see until the break. The phone in her hand is the training room. What she needs is one screen, one choice and one next step, usable while standing up.

Three people use a phone across checkpoints. A rapid prototyping scenario for fast builds, from idea to working product. — Your staff run the induction across the floor checkpoints on the phone they already carry.

Two people stand over phone task objects. A rapid prototyping scenario for fast builds, from idea to working product. — Your build survives the interruption: the forklift passes, the task is where they left it.

A tester types a message into a phone beside a designer. An AI roleplay scenario for digital twins. — Your controls sit where a thumb reaches, tested beside the designer before they ship.

The timeline

From a working prototype in days to PTR’s own surface on a phone

Mobile follows the Fast Builds timeline used for Web, Games, AI and XR: rapid prototypes from 2 business days, with full builds up to 8 working weeks. PTR delivers custom-built training experiences on desktop, mobile, VR headsets and tablets, and runs its own surfaces the same way: a tablet check-in in the waiting room, a phone build passed across the table.

The tablet check-in, tried in the waiting room it is for. A rapid prototyping scenario for mobile experiences, from idea to working product. — Your visitors check in on a tablet in the waiting room, on PTR’s own surface.

A designer tests controls beside a tester. A rapid prototyping scenario for mobile experiences, from idea to working product. — Your controls are sized for real thumbs, tested beside a tester before launch.

A key-shaped token moves an app package. A rapid prototyping scenario for fast builds, from idea to working product. — Your app package is signed and released with a checked key, not a shared password.

Why the phone

The whole build has to come out of the device already in the pocket

One screen, two thumbs, and whatever attention the room has left over. The model, the choice and the next step all rise out of that and stay usable by someone who is standing up. It is the format that reaches the people who are never at a desk, which is most of the people these builds are for.

Two hands hold a plain phone in a dark room while small glowing shapes rise out of its screen. — Your small world rises out of the phone, so the model is where the learner is.

A reviewer swipes through portrait cards. A rapid prototyping scenario for fast builds, from idea to working product. — Your reviewers swipe through portrait cards the way your users will, before sign-off.

Two developers watch media tiles appear. A rapid prototyping scenario for fast builds, from idea to working product. — Your media tiles load on the network your staff have, not the one in the studio.

Where it fits

What a mobile-first build is good for, and what it is not

A mobile-first build works away from a desk: on a factory floor, in a classroom, at an event or wherever someone already carries a phone. It trades some of the depth of a desktop or headset build for that convenience, which makes it right for an early prototype or a companion to a larger experience. Choose it when use on the move matters more than a larger screen or a headset’s presence.

Three reviewers use a phone beside lights. A rapid prototyping scenario for fast builds, from idea to working product. — Your event visitors glance at the phone companion beside the main experience.

A robot arm on a bench, adjusted by hand in a headset, a rapid prototyping scenario for fast builds. — Your engineers test a gesture beside the equipment, on the phone, not in a lab.

Through the headset

The same cards, inside a headset

When the headset is already part of the job, the same build runs inside it: the portrait cards stacked in front of the user, a swipe on a card the size of a door, a move between checkpoints. Same content, same choices, a bigger room.
