LPR Collective

Our new LPR Collective website is now live.

We’ve been working behind the scenes to create a home for LPR Collective and the projects we’re developing.

The new website gives an overview of who we are, what we’re working on, and our focus on deep-tech research and development.

It also gives us somewhere to share our projects as they grow, including Pepeha App, Te Marae o Āpōpō, and the other technology and creative work happening within LPR Collective.

There’s still more to come, but it’s great to finally have it live.

LPR Collective has been working on something that means a lot to us.

Te Marae o Āpōpō is a cultural learning project designed to help people who may feel nervous, disconnected or unsure about returning to a marae.

For some people, the hardest part is simply not knowing what to expect. Where do I go? What do I do? What if I get something wrong?

The idea behind the project is to give people a safe place to learn first.

Using VR, phones and gaming platforms, people will be able to explore, learn at their own pace and build confidence before stepping into the real environment.

This is not about replacing the real experience. It is about helping people feel prepared, supported and empowered enough to return in person.

What you’re seeing in this video is part of the prototype being developed by LPR Collective Limited in Unreal Engine.

LPR Collective is also using this work as supporting material for an MBIE research and development application, exploring how immersive technology could help make cultural learning more accessible, safe and meaningful.

The bigger question behind the project is simple:

Can technology help make that journey home easier?

Explore. Learn. Belong.

7th Star Odyssey is an original science fiction universe we have been developing for years. Through HFY storytelling, we are beginning to introduce people to the characters, lore, mythology, and deeper themes that make up this world.

Ngā mihi nui to Waikato-Tainui for inviting LPR Collective to be part of this special day with Māori business owners who whakapapa to Waikato-Tainui.

It was held at ANZ in Hamilton and it was a wonderful opportunity to connect, share kōrero, and meet people from all over the rohe.

Days like this matter. They remind us how much talent, knowledge, and drive exists within our own people, and how powerful it is when we come together to support Māori business and future opportunities.

Thank you to Waikato-Tainui, ANZ, and everyone who made the day possible.

LPR Collective is proud to be part of this kaupapa.

A big thank you to Te Nehenehenui and all the tamariki who came through Tech Step at the Les Munro Centre in Te Kūiti.

LPR Collective was proud to present our Pepeha App and showcase our game 7th Star Odyssey.

The support, feedback, and interest from the kids was incredible. It was great to see them engage with Māori tech, creativity, gaming, and app development.
