On September 23rd, 2026, we announced that our spatial technology capabilities are expanding into extended reality (XR). This blog post covers why this is a natural step for us. Read the press release here.

Hidonix has spent years developing technologies designed to understand and interact with the physical world. That work spans spatial intelligence, computer vision, artificial intelligence, and robotics, all connected by a common challenge: helping digital systems better understand space, movement, and real-world context. Extended Reality adds a new dimension to that foundation by creating another way for physical and digital environments to work together.

For Hidonix, expanding into XR is a natural extension of work already centered on the relationship between people, systems, and physical environments.

Beyond Entertainment

XR is often associated with entertainment and gaming. Our interest lies elsewhere.

We are focused on the potential of XR for professional applications, particularly in environments where people need to interact with complex information, understand their surroundings, and prepare for situations that may be difficult to reproduce or anticipate.

That direction is closely connected to Hidonix's broader work in protective intelligence and our focus on technologies that support preparedness, awareness, and response.

Professional XR Requires More Than Immersion

Much of the early conversation around XR focused on immersion, but professional environments demand more. In defense, public safety, training, and other mission-critical settings, an XR experience has to operate around real people, real spaces, and real constraints.

Its value depends on more than what a user can see. The system also needs to account for where someone is, how they move, what surrounds them, and what information matters in that moment. This is why Hidonix sees professional XR as particularly relevant in environments where preparation, situational awareness, and effective response are critical.

Where Hidonix and XR Meet

Much of Hidonix’s work, like our physical intelligence systems, provide the context XR needs to become more useful in real-world environments. That overlap is what makes XR a logical extension of Hidonix’s technology foundation. The company’s existing work across spatial intelligence, AI, computer vision, and robotics is already focused on understanding complex physical environments. XR creates another way to bring those capabilities together and explore how digital systems can interact with the physical world more meaningfully.

For Hidonix, XR adds another layer in building systems that better understand and interact with the real world. We cannot wait to share more and launch our full offerings, soon.

This is only the beginning of Hidonix’s work in XR, with more to come as we head toward CES 2027.
