(NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of full-body virtual reality (VR) systems, today announced that the U.S. Marine Corps Training and Education Command (“TECOM”) is collaborating with Virtuix, through its strategic partner KBR, as the lead integrator for the operational assessment of a multi-user virtual infantry training system. The project will incorporate four Omni One omni-directional treadmills, enabling a fire team of four Marines to walk, run, crouch, and maneuver together without boundaries in a shared virtual environment. By adding natural movement, the system aims to replicate the physical and cognitive demands of real-world combat situations. In the training scenario, a four-person infantry fire team, equipped with representative weapons, will move tactically to engage an enemy position. The system will also include a trainer workstation, allowing instructors to design and execute custom scenarios and conduct detailed after-action reviews. “Realistic simulation of movement on foot is fundamental to effective training,” said Colonel Walt Yates (U.S. Marine Corps, Retired). “The ability for Marines to physically maneuver together in a virtual environment—walking, communicating, and reacting as a team—represents a major step forward in training capability. We want to provide Marines or Soldiers on a mission with a sense of déjà vu about where they are and where they are going.” Virtuix’s 360-degree treadmill technology enables users to physically move in every direction without boundaries, instead of relying on joysticks or teleportation mechanics. This approach builds muscle memory and improves situational awareness—key elements for effective infantry training where coordinated movement and spatial orientation are critical. The training system is expected to be delivered to TECOM in the fourth calendar quarter of this year. If successful, the project could be expanded and deployed to Marine Corps training centers nationwide, supporting broader adoption of VR-based infantry training. This program builds on Virtuix’s growing traction within the U.S. defense sector. The Company has sold systems to the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps, and recently entered into a development agreement with the U.S. Navy. These engagements highlight the increasing demand for immersive, full-body training solutions across multiple branches of the U.S. military.
