about us

EXO Insights helps global companies uncover the full performance potential of the their workforce. Our EXO Biometric VR/AR solution transforms and builds on existing industrial safety and training standards to move organizations past traditional training methods. Particularly effective in high-risk, mission critical environments where safety and precision are top priorities, EXO Insights measures the “how” of work, allowing workers and training leaders to improve their knowledge and work capacity. 

Our suite of sensors, integrated with VR/AR hardware, collects precise behavioural data generated during sector-specific designed simulations. The EXO Analytics engine then consolidates trainees knowledge and behavioural data to provide organizations with actionable insights to improve industrial safety and productivity.

The Leadership Team

Ready to help your business

EXO Insights delivers training that is as close to reality as possible. Leveraging state of the art virtual reality (VR), artificial reality (AR) and biometric technologies we create a safe and hyper-real training experience that allows workers to rehearse critical tasks and put their learning to the test in a safe, simulated workplace. Simulation allows workers and organizations to safely fail, so they can learn from those failures and ensure they are not repeated in real life.
