Virtuix Integrates Omni One into U.S. Marine Corps FARP Training Simulator
Partnership with Vigilante Adds Full-Body Movement to Mission-Critical Military Training
Integration Builds on Virtuix’s Expanding Defense Momentum Across U.S. Marine Corps, Army, Air Force, and Navy
AUSTIN, TEXAS – April 28, 2026 – Virtuix Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of full-body virtual reality (VR) systems, today announced that its Omni One platform has been integrated into a Forward Arming and Refueling Point (FARP) training simulator developed by Vigilante, a U.S.-based company focused on advanced military training solutions. The system was developed for evaluation by the U.S. Marine Corps Training and Education Command (TECOM).
FARP training prepares specialized Marine Corps personnel to rapidly refuel and rearm aircraft in austere, forward, or contested environments. These operations are often conducted under high pressure and in challenging conditions, including nighttime missions, protective gear, and the rapid setup and teardown of fuel systems.
The integration brings natural, full-body movement into FARP training, enabling warfighters to physically walk, maneuver, and operate within a virtual environment. By combining Virtuix’s omni-directional treadmill technology with Defense Sim Pro, Vigilante’s simulation development platform, the system enhances realism and immersion for mission-critical training scenarios.
“By incorporating Virtuix’s Omni One into our FARP trainer, we are delivering a new level of immersive training,” said Chris Torchia, Chief Executive Officer at Vigilante. “The addition of physical locomotion allows trainees to build muscle memory and spatial awareness, improving readiness and operational effectiveness compared to traditional screen-based simulations.”
A video demonstrating the integrated training system is available here:

The partnership with Vigilante builds on Virtuix’s expanding presence in the defense training market, including the Company’s recently announced delivery of Omni One to the U.S. Marine Corps TECOM in March for warfighter training and mission planning. Virtuix has also delivered systems to the U.S. Army and Air Force and recently announced a development agreement with the U.S. Navy, underscoring Omni One’s growing applicability across multiple military branches and a broad range of defense training use cases.

Exhibit 99.2
Virtuix Secures 26th Patent, Reinforcing Leadership in 360-Degree Movement Technology
Expanding Patent Portfolio Builds Competitive Moat Across Consumer Gaming, Enterprise, and Defense Markets
AUSTIN, TEXAS – April 30, 2026 – Virtuix Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of full-body virtual reality (VR) systems, today announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its 26th U.S. patent, covering proprietary innovations in the mechanical design of its latest Omni One omni-directional treadmill.
The newly allowed patent reinforces Virtuix’s leadership position in full-body movement technology and expands the company’s intellectual property moat around Omni One, its most advanced platform to date that enables users to physically walk, run, crouch, and jump in 360 degrees within virtual environments. The platform has received industry recognition, including an award for Best VR Interaction Product at the 2025 Auggie Awards, reinforcing its position in the market.
Virtuix’s patent portfolio now includes 26 U.S. patents, with five additional patents pending, covering all core aspects of its locomotion technology including hardware design, motion tracking, and content integration. This growing IP position creates meaningful barriers to entry in a category that is increasingly attracting attention across gaming, industrial training, and military simulation.
“Securing our 26th patent highlights the depth of innovation behind our platform and reinforces our leadership in full-body movement technology,” said Jan Goetgeluk, CEO of Virtuix. “We are significantly ahead of any competition in this space, with a broad and defensible intellectual property portfolio that supports our accelerating growth.”
Virtuix continues to invest in research and development to advance immersive technologies that enable natural movement within virtual environments. The company’s growing patent portfolio supports its long-term strategy to scale full-body interaction across multiple high-growth markets.
