Who We Are
We are passionate about gaming, technology, and creating the future of immersive entertainment. Since 2013, Virtuix has pushed the boundaries of VR gaming, delivering innovative experiences to users worldwide.
How it Started
How it Started
Virtuix, founded in April 2013, is a pioneer in the modern wave of Virtual Reality (VR) innovation. The release of the Microsoft Kinect in November 2010 inspired Virtuix Founder and CEO Jan Goetgeluk to believe that virtual reality was on the brink of a resurgence. Motivated by the desire to walk naturally in VR, rather than pushing buttons on a gamepad or keyboard while sitting, Goetgeluk began developing the "Omni" omni-directional treadmill in 2011. After two years of research and development, he launched the Omni on Kickstarter in June 2013, raising over $1.1 million and making it one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns of its time.
Commercial Success

In 2016, Virtuix shifted its focus from the consumer market to the commercial sector, introducing the “Omni Pro” system to location-based entertainment venues worldwide. Through our global distribution network, Virtuix has shipped over 4,000 Omni Pro units, which are now installed in more than 500 entertainment venues across 45 countries, making Omni Pro the most widely distributed VR hardware outside of headsets. In November 2018, we launched Omni Arena, a turnkey esports attraction featuring four Omni Pro units, designed for high-end entertainment centers.
Coming Home
Coming Home
In October 2020, Virtuix introduced Omni One, a home-optimized Omni system that marks a return to the company’s original vision. Omni One is a complete entertainment solution, featuring a standalone VR headset and a dedicated game store. Unlike the Omni Pro, Omni One eliminates the support ring, providing players with unparalleled freedom of movement—including crouching, kneeling, backing up, strafing, and jumping.
