Virtuix's defense initiatives now span all four major branches of the U.S. military through funding awards, research agreements, and simulation development programs. "Virtuix is uniquely positioned at the intersection of AI, immersive simulation, and military readiness," said Jan Goetgeluk. "TSIS provides an important opportunity to demonstrate how full-body immersion, spatial computing, and AI-enabled terrain reconstruction can support next-generation mission planning and operational training." VTW is an AI-enabled, mission planning and rehearsal platform that allows warfighters to physically maneuver through geo-specific virtual environments reconstructed from real-world terrain. The FARP Trainer, developed in collaboration with Vigilante for evaluation by the U.S. Marine TECOM, enables personnel to physically move throughout a virtual Forward Arming and Refueling Point, helping improve training realism and operational readiness. Military organizations globally are increasing investment in AI-enabled simulations and spatial computing technologies designed to improve readiness while reducing training costs and operational risk.
