We are pleased to announce that our US subsidiary, Operator XR LLC (Operator XR), has achieved a remarkable milestone with its first US customer. This accomplishment marks a pivotal moment in affirming Operator XR’s viability to cater to a diverse range of law enforcement needs within the United States.

Elevating Law Enforcement Training

The Garfield County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado has embraced Operator XR’s cutting-edge training solutions. They have procured both product lines, to service their tactical teams needs for immersive team-based Virtual Reality (VR) training capability, and its patrol officers for de-escalation training.

  1. OP-1 Tactical Training System: This immersive VR solution empowers tactical teams to refine operational tactics in complex scenarios, enhancing their response capabilities to critical situations.
  2. OP-1 LE De-escalation System: Focusing on patrol officers, this system hones de-escalation skills through virtual training in realistic scenarios, ensuring a measured response to various law enforcement situations.

A Choice Backed by Excellence

The selection of Operator XR by the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office followed a comprehensive evaluation process. This choice reinforces the company’s capability to address modern law enforcement training challenges effectively.

A Visionary Partnership

Lou Vallario, Garfield County Sheriff, highlights how Operator XR’s platform aligns with their vision of proactive preparedness. This partnership aims to equip deputies with the skills needed to ensure safety, service, and security, fostering a transformative change in virtual law enforcement training.

A Momentous Achievement

“Securing our first customer in the USA marks a major milestone for XRG. It highlights the product fit and sets the stage for our sustained commitment and growth in the North American markets. The significance of this first sale cannot be understated, it will amplify our presence in the market and provide a substantial springboard into a large number of agencies of all sizes.” – Wayne Jones, CEO of xReality Group Limited.

Expanding Horizons

The partnership with the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office is a significant step in Operator XR’s strategic approach to target law enforcement agencies within the 50-500 sworn officers range, encompassing roughly 3,000 agencies across the US. This approach aligns with Operator XR’s goal of widespread impact and value delivery.

As Operator XR gains ground in the US market, it signifies a promising path forward. This accomplishment underscores the company’s potential to redefine law enforcement training, contributing to safer communities through enhanced readiness.

Operator XR first sale to Australian Defence Force

Australian Army special forces soldiers from 2nd Commando Regiment conduct clearance of a Sydney ferry, as part of a Special Operations Command maritime counter-terrorism training activity on Sydney Harbour, on Wednesday, 24 June 2020.

Operator XR is leading the way for immersive military virtual reality training and we are proud to announce the successful sale of its OP-1 Tactical Rehearsal System to the Australian Department of Defence.

The system will be used by the Australian Army and initially provided to deployed units to maintain military skills, using Operator XR’s immersive VR simulation platform, OP-1. This system brings a new dimension to enhancing critical military skills and has been purchased as part of a concept evaluation process.

The 4 person OP-1 System allows for tactical teams to train and rehearse in Close Quarters Battle (CQB) and urban combat scenarios with unparalleled realism.

Users train on their own weapons, as the system is supplied with M4 “drop in” kits that replace the bolt and magazine of the live weapon with an untethered, pneumatic recoil system and weapon tracking sensors. This integration creates a lifelike experience that mirrors real-world weapon handling.

The OP-1 System is a compact design, with the complete system for 4 users packing into a double rifle case. There are no external computers required, with the system operating seamlessly off a high-powered tablet, which also serves as the hub for the After Action Review (AAR) system.

Additionally, OP-1 operates completely offline, allowing the virtual reality training system to be deployed securely, and in locations without internet.

Operator XR is honoured to stand beside the Australian Department of Defence in their pursuit of maintaining and advancing the capabilities of their armed forces through cutting-edge technology.

Release of first in-house produced VR game, Androids & Outlaws

Androids & Outlaws Logo

Androids & Outlaws

 

We are very excited to announce our first in-house video game experience, developed by our own VR studio, Red Cartel, has now been released and is playing in our Bondi and Gold Coast venues.

 

 

Androids & Outlaws is a fun and competitive multiplayer shooter game, played in FREAK’s Free-Roam Arena. The game pits 2 or 4 players against each other and features a friendly, cartoony aesthetic and utilizes the Vive Focus 3 Virtual Reality headset. To play, players are given a virtual shield and gun, and must shoot the opposing team to gain points. There is no limit to how many times players can be shot, as each round is based on a time limit. The team that holds the most points at the end of the round is victorious.


The Arena was previously limited to players aged 10 or older due to the weight of the backpack and equipment. However, by offering the use of the Vive Focus 3 and its accompanying controllers instead, the heavy equipment is entirely eliminated, allowing a younger and wider audience to play Androids & Outlaws.

Red Cartel spent several months developing this title specifically and exclusively for FREAK to use in the Arena to increase the market audience by accessing a younger demographic.


The in-house production means the game can be modified ongoing and quickly with any improvements that may be required.


FREAK have already seen a growth in the use of the second Arena during weekday operations, and an increase in younger players aged 8+, thanks to the release of this exclusive new title.
