Virtuix

Virtuix designed and sells “Omni,” an omni-directional treadmill that lets players walk and run in 360 degrees inside VR games and other virtual worlds. We’ve earned over $16 million in revenue and are currently shipping our newest product, Omni One, for beta testing.

Backed by major investors such as Mark Cuban, Maveron, and Scout Ventures, the Omni helps players experience true virtual reality by enabling 360-degree movement during VR gameplay.

We’ve sold over $16 million worth of products to major companies such as Dave & Buster’s, and we’ve raised over $35 million in previous financing rounds.

Our newest product, Omni One, is our first consumer system for the home. We started shipping beta units in January 2023, and we have a waitlist of over 35,000 interested customers.
