Brennan Hatton
I have been pioneering VR for over a decade. I co-founded Equal Reality, VR empathy training, allowing you to step into someone else shoes and see from their perceptive. A technology that has been run on every contient except antarrtica and used by 10% of fortune 500 companies, including Google, Amazon, Paramount Global, Exxon Mobil, GSK, the Mayo Clinic, Royal Australian Navy and more.
From working in Silicon Valley building AR headsets, to working with the biggest organizations in the world, I have been involved in 100+ AR, VR and AI projects, and am always looking to push what is possible.
An Ally
Being inclusive and an ally is at the core of who I am. My company Equal Reality uses Virtual Reality creating empathy training in virtual reality. We put people in the perspective of vulnerable groups to experience discrimination.
We partner with psychologist, behaviour experts and industry leaders to work with vulnerable groups covering topics include sexism, racism, ageism, ableism, bullying, sexual harassment, power and exclusion and difficult conversation. Used on every continent except Antarctica, by the worlds largest organisations from Universities, Military, Government, Tech Companies, Banks, Law Firms, Accountants to High Schools.
I spend my free time:
Getting creative with technology, by experimenting with AI, Blockchain, VR & Gaming (like building my VR Game current ranking #2 paid game on SideQuest). 170+ reviews averaging 4.5 star
Giving back to my community, by saving lives as a volunteer on Australian Beaches for Surf Life Saving Australia or organizing community events.
Making Art, in the form of games, paintings, videos, photography, music, film and more.
Building and being part of communities, by giving talks, connecting people and hosting events.
Practicing teamwork and leadership with Team sports like surf boat rowing, soccer, netball, tennis, partner dance, canyoning & mountaineering.
Calming the mind. Meditation through sports like climbing, free-diving and cliff jumping.
Working on my mind and body through flow sports like surf-life-saving sports, skating, dancing & beat saber.
Sharing knowledge, by detailing my adventures, learning and anything I find interesting on my personal wiki.
