Hey, so this is kind of wild but bear with me. I stumbled upon this thing about xReality Group—not that I was looking for it, it just kinda popped up. You ever get that? Like, you’re just scrolling and suddenly this Australian tech thing jumps out at you. Anyway, they’ve got this deal with the Texas cops. Yeah, the whole lot of ’em. We’re talking almost 6 million Aussie dollars. What’s that, like, 3.7 million USD? Rough math, don’t quote me.
Honestly, the details are a bit like tech soup to me. But the short of it? They’re rolling out some VR training doohickey called OP-2. Sounds like something out of a sci-fi flick, right? It’s supposed to help with decision-making, de-escalation, all that jazz. Imagine having to decide things while virtually dodging whatever it is cops dodge. Intense.
Texas DPS—big shots in law enforcement over there—are gonna be using this for officer training. So, the guys watching over 30 million folks? Yeah, they’re getting this high-tech VR treatment. Gotta admit, that’s kinda cool. And sure, it’s meant to make things safer. Less risky business all around, I guess.
Wayne Jones, the big guy running xReality, called it something like a “strategic milestone.” Fancy words, but he seems pretty psyched. Means a lot if Texas signs up, apparently. Might open doors with other states too. Who knows? Maybe it’s all part of a bigger game of virtual chess.
This contract thing kicks off with Aussie dollars, 4.3 million worth. They’re throwing in gadgets, guidance, hand-holding for a couple of years—starting in 2026 if I’ve got my calendar right. Then there’s this extra support package. Total potential value bumps up to that 5.71 million, remember?
Oh! And the Aussie government tossed xReality a cool 2.1 million for growth. They’re calling it an “Industry Growth Program” or something snazzy like that. Meant to fuel some AI wizardry over the next two years. Real-time feedback, spun-up scenarios—sounding more and more like a video game. I wonder if you can level up?
Okay, I’m stopping. My brain’s caught in this tech loop. But hey, if they make an OP-3, maybe I’ll pay more attention.
