A Pennsylvania-based Air National Guard unit will evaluate Virtuix’s AI-enabled Omni One virtual reality (VR) system as part of efforts to explore immersive technologies for military preparedness.
During the evaluation, the unit will examine whether the platform can enhance military training by combining AI-generated scenarios with full-body movement in realistic operational environments.
Full-Body VR for Military Training
Omni One combines an omnidirectional treadmill with a virtual reality headset and motion-tracking accessories, allowing users to walk, run, crouch, kneel, and change direction naturally within simulated environments.
Unlike conventional controller-based VR, it translates physical movement directly into the virtual world.
Built for defense applications, the system supports mission planning, tactical rehearsals, and scenario-based exercises by allowing personnel to physically navigate virtual operational environments before live drills.
Expanding Military Adoption
The evaluation marks Virtuix’s first deployment with the Air National Guard, expanding the company’s presence across the US military.
It builds on several recent defense initiatives, including an AFWERX contract award for Virtuix’s Virtual Terrain Walk battlefield rehearsal platform, a virtual infantry training project with the US Marine Corps, and deployments with the US Military Academy at West Point.
“The adoption of Omni One by the Air National Guard further validates the growing demand for our immersive training technology across every branch of the U.S. military,” said Jan Goetgeluk, chief executive officer of Virtuix.
“We believe full-body virtual reality, spatial computing, and AI-enabled simulation will become foundational technologies for military training and readiness,” he added.
