[00:00:00]From the New York Stock Exchange, I'm Jane King for News Out. Virtuix Holdings, a leading developer of full-body virtual reality systems, announced the company has been selected by the US Air Force for phase one funding to advance development of its virtual terrain walk platform for military mission planning and leader rehearsals. The proposed platform leverages Virtuix's omnidirectional 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-plus 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° inside immersive virtual environments.
