Humanoid robot teleoperation: everywhere humans are put in danger.
Strategic partnership with Astroport Space Technologies, initiated by GTIF Capital: teleoperated humanoid robots for lunar construction. LOI signed, announced in August 2026.
Every operator session also produces full-body motion data for training the robots themselves.
How it works
The operator walks, turns and kneels naturally on the ODT 1. Full-body tracking drives the robot in real time while the operator sees through its cameras. Human judgement on site, without the human on site.
Where it matters
01Lunar construction and repair (Astroport)
02Firefighting and disaster response
03Nuclear, chemical and other hazardous sites
04Offshore platforms, mining and deep sea
05Bomb disposal and defence logistics
06Skilled remote work: maintenance, inspection, care

ODT 1 vs KatVR and Virtuix
01Walking and running finally feels natural.
02100x lower latency.
03100% accurate direction control.
04100% accurate velocity transmission.
0510x more quiet.
The result: the first VR treadmill to 10x immersion and solve motion sickness.

Active VR treadmills are expensive, cause motion sickness and break immersion.

Why active treadmills fall short
01Massive, bulky and expensive.
02Sensors that control the electric motors can't read the user's mind.
Constant reaction delays.
Unintended acceleration and deceleration.
The result: balance loss, motion sickness and broken immersion.

Go-to-market: two segments, one platform.
Where our financial plan comes from
Consumer gaming: the volume engine
Games are the acquisition channel: the majority of planned orders come through the IPs we publish, with their marketing paid by partner budgets.
Creator launch: the biggest VR creators, with millions of followers, are waiting for their units. Coordinated content drops at launch create millions of impressions almost overnight.
Pre-order launch on Kickstarter in Feb 2027, then direct sales in Europe and the US from Sep 2027.
Treadmill e-sports events, game jams (2 so far with 50 teams) and our own arcades as live marketing.
Plan: 18.8k units in 2027, 62.3k units in 2028
Upside, not yet in the financial plan
Training & simulation: second segment
Start with the 20+ organisations that already asked: police, military, first responders, space agencies, universities.
Pilot units from the first production batch, paid pilots with agreed success metrics (comfort, usage, training outcomes).
Procurement and multi-site rollouts from 2028, with enterprise pricing above the consumer price.
Anchors: LOIs from Astroport and Parsec, ESA BIC, €5k+ prototype orders from Stuttgart and Wismar.
Upside on top of the plan, first pilots in 2027
Enterprise demand beyond training & simulation (healthcare, sports, education, workforce) follows the installed base.
