Job Description

Are you ready to help save lives?

Welcome to the future of training - the ChimeraXR extended reality training system. With our realistic and immersive tactical training system, armed professionals are no longer limited to the constraints of geography or safety risks in order to train team tactics. More cost-effective and safer than live fire training, the flexibility of projectile-free simulation is that it creates a safe to fail environment for students to learn in. We have connected real firearms to virtual training environments to help law enforcement and military members get better access to training that can save lives.
