The deployment marks another milestone in Virtuix’s expanding defense footprint for its Virtual Terrain Walk (“VTW”) system and related technologies, following prior sales to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and Yokota Air Base. Virtuix believes this sale further validates the potential for full-body, omni-directional VR movement to enhance realism and effectiveness of military simulation for applications including operational planning, mission rehearsal, and combat readiness training.
“We are encouraged to see continued traction for full-body VR with Omni One across the defense sector as military organizations look for more immersive and effective training technologies,” said CEO Jan Goetgeluk.
“The Marine Corps deployment highlights our growing momentum across multiple branches of the U.S. military, and further demonstrates the broader defense potential of our technology. We are excited to continue expanding these applications alongside our partners as we pursue larger contracts in the defense space.”
VTIX shares gained 15 cents, or 2.1%, to $7.30.
