WORLDTECHFreiburg’s VUSE XR raises €1.2 million to bring AI-powered mixed reality training to enterprises
What happened
VUSE XR, a Freiburg-based startup developing enterprise software for mixed reality training, today announced the closing of a €1.2 million pre-Seed financing round.
The round was led by IACD, a Düsseldorf-based business angel network, with additional participation from individual business angels. Founded in November 2023 by cousins Niclas Matthias and Dr.
Paul Matthias, VUSE XR develops the VUSE XR Hub, an enterprise software platform that enables industrial and life sciences companies to create, manage and deploy immersive mixed reality training for complex products and processes. While mixed reality hardware has matured rapidly, producing the training content to run on it has remained expensive and difficult to scale; VUSE XR is addressing this problem.
The startup replaces the traditional model of costly, agency-led custom mixed reality projects with a standardised, AI-assisted workflow that allows companies to build, update and distribute training content themselves, across products and locations. The biggest selling point here is the ease with which VUSE XR helps enterprises to create mixed reality training content. The VUSE XR Hub works by converting existing CAD models, engineering data and product documentation into photorealistic 3D models, which users can then arrange into interactive training sequences using AI-assisted tools or drag-and-drop functionality.
