Virtuix Omni Oneが2026年Auggie Awardの最優秀インタラクション製品賞を受賞
Virtuix Holdingsは、同社のOmni Oneプラットフォームが、XR業界最高の栄誉であるAugmented World Expoの2026年Auggie Awardにおいて、セントラルフロリダ大学が開発した人型ロボット遠隔操作システムの一部として、最優秀インタラクション製品賞を受賞したと発表した。今回の受賞は、Omni Oneが2025年に続き同部門で2年連続の受賞となり、ロボット遠隔操作やフィジカルAIトレーニングにおけるプラットフォームの役割拡大を際立たせている。評価されたプロジェクト「Being there without being there」は、オペレーターがOmni One全方向トレッドミルの上を自然に歩きながら、人型ロボットをリアルタイムで操作することを可能にし、全身移動が人間とロボットのインタラクションをいかに向上させるかを示している。Virtuixは最近、1HMXと提携し、Omni One EnterpriseトレッドミルとHaptX Gloves G1を組み合わせた全身人型ロボット制御システムNexus NX1を開発した。同社は、Omni Oneが遠隔操作と、自律ロボット行動の訓練のための人間の動作データ収集の両方を支援する独自の立場にあると考えている。
