Virtuix is a developer of a virtual reality platform that enables players to walk and run in 360 degrees in virtual reality. Its Virtuix Omni is the first virtual reality interface for moving freely and naturally in VR games and applications.

Virtuix was founded in April 2013 and was one of the pioneers of the recent wave of VR innovation. Virtuix sells Omni systems to enterprise customers and location-based entertainment venues through the company’s global distribution network. Virtuix has shipped more than 3,500 Omni systems to date, and distributors have installed Omnis in over 500 commercial venues in 45 countries, making the Omni the most widely distributed VR hardware besides headsets. In November 2018, Virtuix unveiled Omni Arena, a turnkey esports attraction for high-end entertainment centers.

Since its Kickstarter campaign in 2013, Virtuix raised $20MM from investors including Mark Cuban, 12 venture capital funds, two strategic investors, and private investors. The company has grown to a team of 35 employees with offices in Austin, TX (its headquarters), and in Zhuhai and Shanghai, China.
