What Boost Human does

Boost Human, LLC is a privately held enterprise software company headquartered in El Paso, Texas that develops mixed reality (augmented and virtual reality) and artificial intelligence applications for workforce development, productivity, and remote expert support. Founded in 2017 as Beacon Hill VR, the company organizes its offering around three core product pillars: Telepresence, an AR-enhanced remote-support application with peer-to-peer architecture that runs on Android, iOS, Windows, and smart-glass devices and provides spatial drawing, marking, pointing, and beacon tools; Virtual Training and Simulation, which uses interactive VR environments (distinct from passive 360-degree video) with controller and hand tracking to recreate dangerous or hazardous conditions for safety training; and Guided Processes (Smart Guides), which deliver holographic blueprints, 3D models, and step-by-step instructions hands-free into a worker's field of view. The company also offers a Virtual Agent module featuring embodied conversational agents built with IBM Watson for diagnostic and soft-skills training scenarios.

The company serves four primary verticals — manufacturing (notably maquiladoras, automotive, aerospace, and electronics firms in the El Paso-Juarez corridor, including ZF Group, TRW, and Bosch), government (remote expert assistance to reduce travel costs), healthcare (virtual patients and dangerous-scenario simulation for medical training), and education (technical institutions and universities, including New Mexico State University). Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with on-site demonstrations and event participation (SXSW, manufacturing summits, Bosch Innovation Day, FTZ events), supplemented by a product-led growth motion via self-service Telepresence downloads on major app stores. Revenue is generated through SaaS subscriptions (individual and enterprise license tiers), custom development projects of 1-4 months in duration, and software publishing, though public pricing pages list $0/user and revenue figures are not disclosed.

The team is small (1-10 employees, including six senior engineers, the majority with graduate degrees from UT El Paso) and the company was capitalized with a seed round from undisclosed private investors in September 2019. Strategic relationships include Foreign Trade Zone No. 68, Microsoft TechSpark (which co-hosts the Mixed Reality Lab at The Hub of Human Innovation), Microsoft TEALS, IBM, and the University of Texas at El Paso. Most recent disclosed activity is a December 2025 appointment of a Boost Human affiliate as exclusive US/Canadian distributor for IMS New Zealand's Cloudburst Fire Bucket in helicopter firefighting, suggesting possible diversification beyond the core XR software business.
