Virtuix Inc., an innovative company specializing in full-body virtual reality systems, has officially entered the public market by debuting on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol VTIX. Based in Austin, Texas, Virtuix has spent nearly thirteen years developing technology that enables users to move naturally within virtual environments, avoiding traditional controller inputs. This vision began with founder and CEO Jan Goetgeluk's quest to replicate real-world walking experience in digital spaces, culminating in invention of the "Omni" 360-degree treadmill.
Since its inception, the company has invested approximately $50 million and significant research into refining its technology. Virtuix currently holds a market capitalization near $250 million. Its progress and growth were underscored by the release of the Omni One, a cutting-edge, in-home gaming system which has been a pivotal driver of the company’s success. Revenue figures for the first six months ending September 30, 2025, indicate a remarkable 138% increase compared to the same period in the previous year, illustrating accelerating market acceptance.
Virtuix's business model benefits from the dual revenue streams of hardware sales and accompanying software, creating multiple avenues for monetization. To date, the company has rolled out three generations of products, collectively achieving sales exceeding $20 million.
CEO Jan Goetgeluk emphasized that the journey is just beginning. In his view, while artificial intelligence-powered 3D reconstruction technologies can rapidly produce highly realistic virtual environments, what remains crucial is the ability to physically move through these spaces authentically. Virtuix’s platforms aim to provide this integral experience, and the transition to a public company is expected to furnish the capital necessary to expedite growth initiatives and innovation pipelines.
Complementing its Nasdaq listing, Virtuix secured an $11 million funding infusion from Chicago Venture Partners. Additionally, it arranged a $50 million equity line of credit subject to specified conditions. These financial resources are earmarked primarily for expanding sales and marketing activities related to Omni One. Production capabilities currently allow the manufacture of up to 3,000 Omni One units per month, supporting the potential to generate approximately $100 million in annual revenue.
Virtuix stands out by harnessing advanced AI-driven 3D reconstruction methods, including Gaussian splatting. This technique enhances creation of digital twins by modeling environments as millions of colored three-dimensional Gaussian spheres rather than using conventional mesh constructions. Such an approach significantly accelerates the generation of photorealistic and highly detailed virtual worlds.
The process can start with aerial drone footage or 3D camera captures, which, when processed, produce near-perfect 1:1 replicas of real-world locations. This capability was demonstrated effectively in promotional materials released by the company.
The Omni One system itself is designed to provide users with immersive gaming experiences by physically mimicking real-world motions. Its specialized surface and vest-like harness enable a full range of movements—walking, running, crouching, jumping—in 360 degrees, all while remaining centrally positioned on the treadmill. Such naturalistic motion tracking transcends the limitations of standard game controllers, granting users unprecedented freedom within virtual spaces.
Additionally, Omni One offers bona fide fitness benefits by converting sedentary gaming activity into a cardio workout. The company cites anecdotal evidence of users experiencing significant weight loss, including one individual shedding 40 pounds over four months through regular use. Virtuix markets the device as the "Peloton of gaming," highlighting its value proposition of combining entertainment with physical health.
The size and growth trajectory of the virtual reality gaming industry present a lucrative opportunity for Virtuix. Market forecasts project the sector expanding from $50.71 billion in 2025 to $194.17 billion by 2030. However, Virtuix strategically extends its focus beyond gaming into defense applications, an area where its Omni technology shows unique potential.
One notable defense sector product is Virtual Terrain Walk (VTW), which is under production and currently deployed at select military installations such as Yokota Air Force Base and the U.S. Air Force Academy. VTW enables commanders and troops to virtually traverse terrain prior to missions, facilitating reconnaissance planning and operational rehearsals. The technology addresses deficiencies in existing simulation tools that are often costly, limited in user capacity, or constrained in movement capabilities.
VTW supports simultaneous free movement for more than a dozen soldiers in a shared virtual environment without physical restrictions, allowing full 360-degree immersion. This feature positions Virtuix’s systems as superior simulation platforms capable of enhancing military readiness effectively.
Through its innovative utilization of AI and 3D reconstruction, Virtuix is pioneering ways to integrate physical mobility into digital realms. The company’s significant capital infusion, combined with its impressive 138% revenue growth, signals its evolution from pioneering startup toward scalable enterprise. By catering to both mass-market gaming consumers and high-margin defense clients, Virtuix offers investors potential exposure to diverse revenue streams driven by cutting-edge technology advancements.
