Amazing XR
Debbie was born in Darwin, NT in 1974, and at that time not everybody knew she was amazing. Debbie learnt to ride a unicycle at age 8 and began publicly performing her skills at age 12.
Debbie “ran away” (with her father) for one year to perform with Robinson’s Great International Circus (1992). Debbie has achieved many things and had various business ventures. You can read more here.
In 2019 Debbie re-branded her business to “Amazing Miss Deb” and re-entered the workforce with updated circus programs that now help achieve curriculum requirements in health, physical education, maths and science from pre-school to middle school. Read about all Amazing Miss Deb services here
Virtual Reality Sessions with Amazing XR
In the 2020 COVID lockdown Amazing Miss Deb pivoted her business to include remote unicycle coaching (funded by the Darwin City Council) and also to focus on app design and Virtual Reality.
Throughout 2020 Miss Deb self published an App to the Android Play Store and then began research and development with Virtual Reality headsets and their associated software. Miss Deb developed a visionary plan to help benefit youth by using VR to achieve some similar goals as her circus workshops.
Miss Deb is passionate about teaching and guiding youth to become their best selves and wants to develop an app to teach juggling in VR to fully bridge the gap between her two areas of interest (circus and VR), to bring back the active lifestyle for youth in creative, fun and exciting ways and to ignite student’s passion for self-education. Fitness and education are unavoidable side effects in VR and VR is so much fun to boot!
Miss Deb is a pioneer in the “All in one” virtual reality world and was the first in Darwin to get the Oculus Quest 2 on in October 2020. This headset was the first truly affordable “all in one stand alone headset”. This means that for the first time since VR Headsets were created, they became untethered (not connected to a computer) and hence VERY mobile (allowing for physical participation in games and education) AND very affordable. Miss Deb seized the opportunity this new product offered and purchased 6 headsets with intention to deliver programs to youth.
Miss Deb continued her self–study with the aim to deliver VR programs to youth in the NT. Miss Deb’s VR workshops develop independence as well as social skills (VR can be very socially connective – remotely and in person), promote hand/eye coordination and kinaesthetic awareness, educate the participants on a wide range of topics in VR (to contribute to higher education studies) and does all this in a fun and exciting way.
In January 2021 Miss Deb began public VR workshops at Taminmin Library. The workshops were aimed at youth and were a great success, amazing and inspiring all participants as well as parents and library staff who saw the headsets in action (either first hand or on a TV watching what the participants were seeing in the headsets).
VR has an incredible future in both education and fitness (and is super exciting and fun!). Exposing youth to VR while they are at school will bring an awareness of the benefits of VR technology and will inspire youth to take up VR related study and jobs in the future.
