Air Force SBIR Program Selects Virtuix for Development of Virtual Terrain Walk System for Immersive Mission Planning and Tactical Decision-Making AUSTIN, Texas, May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virtuix Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of full-body virtual reality systems, today announced that the company has been selected by the U.S. Air Force for Phase I funding under the AFWERX SBIR program to advance development of its Virtual Terrain Walk (“VTW”) platform for military mission planning and leader rehearsals. The proposed platform leverages Virtuix’s omni-directional treadmill technology, immersive XR environments, spatial computing, and AI-driven terrain reconstruction to allow warfighters to physically “walk the terrain they will be fighting on” inside geo-specific virtual environments. The system is designed to support collaborative mission planning, terrain familiarization, and tactical decision-making for distributed teams of 12+ warfighters. Unlike traditional mission planning tools that rely on static maps and screens, VTW enables soldiers to physically walk, run, and maneuver together in 360 degrees inside immersive virtual environments. The system uses AI-driven 3D reconstruction to convert camera footage of real-world locations into photorealistic virtual replicas within hours. Thanks to Omni One omni-directional treadmills, warfighters can then physically move around inside those environments without boundaries.

Warfighters can now get familiar with the battlefield before putting boots on the ground.” Virtuix’s proprietary locomotion technology is protected by an expanding intellectual property portfolio that includes 26 U.S. patents, with additional patents pending. The company believes immersive, movement-based mission planning and rehearsal represents a rapidly emerging category within the broader defense simulation market, particularly as military organizations globally are increasingly investing in AI-enabled simulation, spatial computing, and ...
