Sharing our vision on RT3D for defense

Virtualware has taken part in the latest edition of the TEDAE Business Meetings, bringing together 87 companies from the Defence, Security, Aeronautics, and Space ecosystem and facilitating more than 360 B2B meetings aimed at strengthening collaboration between SMEs and major industry players.

Through its participation, the company has reinforced its commitment to technological innovation in the defense sector, an area in which its CEO, Unai Extremo, recently participated in Let’s Talk Defence and Security, with Laura Blanco, produced by Capital Radio, in collaboration with TEDAE.

During the interview, Extremo explained how XR and real-time 3D technologies enhance military training, decision-making, and operational efficiency by enabling personnel to learn and make mistakes in simulated environments before facing real-world scenarios.

He also highlighted VIROO, Virtualware’s proprietary real-time 3D platform for creating distributed, multi-user virtual environments. VIROO is already being used at the Military Medical School to train military healthcare personnel in managing mass-casualty incidents following a chemical attack, in accordance with NATO protocols.

The Virtualware CEO also emphasized the company’s technological sovereignty. VIROO is developed entirely in Spain, with no dependence on third-party technologies or services, enabling deployment on secure networks or within the customer’s on-premises environment. This capability, refined through projects in critical civilian sectors such as nuclear energy, is particularly relevant for defense and security applications.

They also discussed the recent acquisition of Virtalis. With the addition of Visren, it completes its real-time 3D value chain. While VIROO enables the distribution of immersive 3D content, Visren makes it possible to create that content from large-scale engineering datasets. The acquisition also strengthens the company’s presence in the United Kingdom, further expanding its international footprint and capabilities. Finally, Extremo called for more specific pull-through incentives to help Spanish technology SMEs become integrated into major national and European defense programs.

Virtualware’s participation in these forums reflects its commitment to fostering collaboration between leading industrial players and innovative SMEs, helping to strengthen Spain’s defense industry and consolidate sovereign technological capabilities.
