Exhibit 99.1
Virtuix Delivers Omni One to Florida Gulf Coast University for Use in Physical Therapy and Clinical Simulation
University to Evaluate Omni One Across Rehabilitation and Simulation Settings
Collaboration Highlights Potential Expansion into Healthcare While Virtuix Continues Advancing Consumer and Defense Initiatives
AUSTIN, TEXAS – April 14, 2026 – Virtuix Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of full-body virtual reality systems, today announced the delivery of an Omni One omni-directional treadmill system to Florida Gulf Coast University (“FGCU”), where faculty and students in the Marieb College of Health & Human Services will evaluate the system for use in physical therapy, occupational therapy, neurological rehabilitation, fall prevention, and clinical simulation applications.
“The Virtuix system presents strong potential as both a medical device and a clinical simulation platform. Its immersive 360-degree locomotion technology allows for objective assessment of gait, balance, stride mechanics, postural control, and reaction time. This makes it highly applicable across physical therapy and rehabilitation. The integrated safety harness creates a secure environment for progressive therapeutic interventions while minimizing fall risk,” said Dr. Joseph P. Buhain, Director of Interprofessional Simulation and Emerging Technology, Marieb College of Health & Human Services at Florida Gulf Coast University.
In addition to potential rehabilitation applications, Omni One may also support simulation-based education by enabling learners to navigate realistic virtual environments, including hospital units, home settings, community spaces, and disaster scenarios. Virtuix believes these capabilities can enhance situational awareness through interactive, movement-based experiences that train executive function and memory.
“We are excited to work with FGCU and evaluate the use of Omni One for medical applications,” said Jan Goetgeluk, CEO of Virtuix. “This collaboration potentially opens another large market for Virtuix in addition to our consumer and defense businesses. More importantly, we believe our Omni technology has the power to help patients worldwide by making physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises more engaging and effective.”
Physical therapy and rehabilitation represent a large and rapidly growing market opportunity. The global physical therapy market is valued at approximately $26 billion in 2025 and is projected to nearly double to approximately $50 billion by 2034, driven by an aging population, the rising prevalence of chronic and musculoskeletal conditions, and growing interest in technology-enabled care. Virtuix believes its immersive, full-body movement platform is well positioned to address this growing demand through differentiated rehabilitation and simulation use cases.
Virtuix remains focused on two core markets alongside this emerging medical application opportunity: consumer and defense. On the consumer side, the Company recently joined Meta’s “Made for Meta” program, which is expected to make Omni One compatible with Meta Quest headsets and content, expanding access to the world’s largest XR user base. In the defense segment, Virtuix recently announced an Omni One delivery to the U.S. Marine Corps and a development agreement with the U.S. Navy, building on prior defense traction that includes sales to the U.S. Army at West Point, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and Yokota Air Base.
