VUSE XR receives €1.2M to scale AI-assisted mixed reality training
Vuse XR will use funding to further develop the VUSE XR Hub, strengthen its AI-assisted content creation capabilities and support the company’s commercial expansion.
German mixed reality software startup
VUSE XR has raised €1.2 million in a pre-seed funding round led by IACD, a
Düsseldorf-based business angel network, with participation from additional
angel investors.
Founded by Niclas Matthias and Dr Paul Matthias, the company develops the VUSE XR Hub, an enterprise software
platform designed to help industrial and life sciences companies create, manage
and deploy mixed reality training.
Traditionally, mixed reality training has relied on customised
Traditionally, mixed reality training
has relied on customised projects, with each training experience developed
separately. This approach can make content creation expensive and
time-consuming, while limiting the ability to update and scale training across
different products and locations.
VUSE XR aims to address these challenges by
providing a software-based approach that allows companies to create and adapt
training content as products and processes evolve.
The platform uses existing CAD models,
engineering data and other technical materials to generate photorealistic 3D
models, which can be used to develop interactive training experiences.
Companies can create training sequences using AI-assisted tools, text prompts
or drag-and-drop functionality, adding explanations and practical tasks. Once
completed, the training can be deployed across different locations and accessed
through web browsers, mobile devices and XR headsets.
Mixed reality hardware is advancing
rapidly, but creating mixed reality training content remains the biggest
barrier to broader enterprise adoption. The VUSE XR Hub removes this
bottleneck, enabling companies to unlock significant business value from mixed
reality,
said Niclas Matthias, co-founder and CEO of VUSE XR.
The company already works with customers including ZEISS,
The company already works with
customers including ZEISS, Witron, Hologic and Badenova, which use its platform
to explain complex products and processes and provide practical training
without requiring physical equipment on site. Its customers operate across
several industries, including medical and laboratory technologies, energy and
mobility solutions.
VUSE XR operates through a recurring
software licensing model, allowing customers to create, manage and deploy mixed
reality training content. The company also provides onboarding support and
assistance with implementing initial training applications.
Alongside the funding announcement,
VUSE XR has expanded its leadership team with the appointments of Jan Hendrik
Degner as Chief Commercial Officer and Robert Günther as Vice President of
Sales and Service Delivery.
The new funding will be used to
further develop the VUSE XR Hub, expand its AI-assisted content creation
capabilities and support the company’s commercial growth.
