AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Virtuix Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of full-body virtual reality systems, today announced that its Class A ordinary shares will start trading today on the Global Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the ticker symbol “VTIX.”
Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Austin, TX, Virtuix pioneers technology that enables physical movement in AI-generated environments, whether fictional game worlds or photorealistic replicas of the real world, created by AI-driven 3D reconstruction techniques like Gaussian splatting. The company designs and manufactures “Omni,” the premier brand of omni-directional treadmills that enable users to walk, run, crouch, and jump in 360 degrees inside virtual environments.
Virtuix founder and CEO Jan Goetgeluk began developing the original Omni treadmill in 2011, motivated by a desire to walk naturally in virtual worlds rather than pushing buttons on a controller. He launched a Kickstarter for the product in June 2013 that raised over $1.1 million, making it one of the most successful campaigns of its time. Virtuix has since raised $50 million from high-profile investors including Mark Cuban, several venture funds including Maveron and Scout Ventures, and through equity crowdfunding.
With its diversified product portfolio spanning consumer, enterprise, and defense markets, Virtuix is positioned for rapid growth. The company recently launched Omni One, its next-generation gaming system for the home that enables players to burn calories while gaming. Revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2025, grew 138% year-over-year. To date, Virtuix has brought three generations of products to market, generating over $20 million in sales.
In conjunction with the Nasdaq listing, Virtuix secured an $11 million investment from Chicago Venture Partners and a $50 million equity line of credit dependent on certain conditions. Use of proceeds will include scaling sales and marketing of Omni One, with production capacity already in place to produce 3,000 units per month, representing $100 million in annual revenue potential.
“We’re only getting started,” said Jan Goetgeluk, Virtuix’s founder and CEO. “In a world where AI-powered 3D reconstruction techniques can rapidly generate photorealistic virtual environments, the missing piece is the ability to move through those worlds naturally. We pioneered the technology to make that possible.
“Going public provides us with access to capital to fund our growth and develop new products like Virtual Terrain Walk, our training system for the defense sector. Looking ahead, we believe our ‘dual-use’ strategy of supplementing high-volume consumer sales with high-margin defense contracts positions us for achieving continued growth and creating long-term value for our shareholders,” Goetgeluk concluded.
Scout Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in frontier technologies, invested in Virtuix’s first seed round and three additional rounds. Brad Harrison, Scout Ventures’ founder and managing partner, commented on the debut: “Virtuix’s technology offers a unique solution to enable physical movement within virtual worlds. It is a key piece of VR that has been missing. I am proud to be an early investor in Virtuix and congratulate the entire team on joining the Nasdaq.”
Virtuix has released a new video showcasing how Gaussian splatting rapidly turns 360-degree camera footage into photorealistic 3D digital environments, revolutionizing applications like virtual tourism, industrial training, and mission planning for defense and law enforcement. Watch the video here.
