Virtuix Secures 27th Patent, Expanding Full-Body Simulation Intellectual Property

Strengthening Patent Portfolio Builds Competitive Moat Across Consumer Gaming, Enterprise, and Defense Markets

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Virtuix Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: VTIX), a leading developer of AI-driven, full-body simulation systems, today announced that it has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its 27th U.S. patent, covering proprietary footwear technology designed to improve movement and traction on omni-directional treadmills.

The newly allowed patent reinforces the intellectual property underpinning Virtuix's Omni One, its most advanced platform to date that enables natural, multi-directional physical movement within immersive virtual environments. The Omni One platform has received industry recognition, including awards for Best VR Interaction Product at both the 2025 and 2026 Auggie Awards, underscoring its leadership position in the market.

Virtuix’s patent portfolio now includes 27 U.S. patents, with five additional patents pending, covering all core aspects of its full-body simulation technology including hardware design, motion tracking, and content integration. This growing IP position creates meaningful barriers to entry in a category that is increasingly gaining momentum across gaming, enterprise, healthcare, and military simulation.

“Securing our 27th 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 believe we are significantly ahead of any competition in this space, with a broad and defensible intellectual property portfolio that supports our 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.
