BlueRoom

What BlueRoom does

BlueRoom Simulations is an Australian private company, founded in Melbourne in 2021 and commercially launched in November 2022, that develops deployable Mixed Reality (MR) simulation platforms for defence, aeromedical, tactical combat casualty care (TCCC), emergency medical services, and university healthcare training. The company's core product is the BlueRoom Mixed Reality Simulator — a chroma-key-based environment that uses Varjo XR-4 headsets and Unreal Engine/Unity rendering to let trainees use real hands, real medical equipment, real manikins and real weapons inside fully synthetic virtual aircraft, vehicles, maritime, field and clinical environments, preserving genuine muscle memory in contrast to controller-based VR. The platform is extended by BlueRoom Mission Control (an instructor dashboard for real-time scenario authoring, vitals/weather/lighting/threat injection, and debrief) and BlueRoom Biometrics (Garmin-wearable integration streaming HRV, SpO2, stress and respiratory data for adaptive difficulty), plus a Game Studio producing bespoke XR/VR training experiences for clients such as Philips Healthcare Australia, RMIT University and the University of Melbourne.

The company monetises through a mix of one-time hardware/software system licences (the MR simulator, standalone VR aircraft familiarisation modules) and recurring software subscriptions (Mission Control and Biometrics), with bespoke development sold as professional services. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales in Australia and New Zealand targeting defence ministries, air forces, emergency services and healthcare organisations, paired with an exclusive regional distribution network across 22+ countries (MKC Training in UK/Ireland/Falklands, Leader Healthcare in the Gulf, Hui Huliau in the USA, Skills Meducation Group across Europe, Wako Shoji in Japan, FC Asia in Singapore, and others), supplemented by heavy event marketing at defence and medical simulation conferences.

Strategic positioning rests on being an Australian-owned sovereign supplier within AUKUS Pillar II, a claimed first-mover position in commercialised MR aeromedical and TCCC simulation, and a flagship OEM partnership with Airbus Australia Pacific and Airbus Helicopters signed at RotorTech 2026 to explore HEMS training integration. Operating geographies span Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Continental Europe, the Gulf, Israel, Turkey, East Africa, Japan, Singapore and the United States, with named customers including the Royal Australian Air Force, Australian Defence Force, Royal Netherlands Army & Air Force, Higher Colleges of Technology (UAE) and RMIT University.

Broad incumbents

• CAE: CAE is the world's largest pure-play aviation and defence simulation company, providing full-motion simulators for pilots, aeromedical crews, and defence operators. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps with BlueRoom in aeromedical training and serves the same RAAF and allied defence customers with much larger, fixed-base simulator platforms.
• Laerdal Medical: Laerdal is the global leader in medical simulation, providing manikins, simulation software, and training programs used in nursing schools, hospitals and emergency response. It overlaps with BlueRoom's clinical and tactical medical training mission and brings a much broader portfolio and longer-standing customer relationships.
• Surgical Science: Surgical Science develops virtual reality training simulators for minimally invasive surgery, endovascular procedures, and ultrasound. It is a broad incumbent in medical simulation with overlapping clinical training customers (hospitals, universities) and a much larger commercial footprint.
• InVeris Training Solutions: InVeris (formerly Meggitt Training Systems and FATS) provides live-fire and virtual training systems for military and law enforcement. It overlaps with BlueRoom's TCCC and tactical training mission as a broad defence simulation incumbent.
• BISim (Bohemia Interactive Simulations): BISim develops large-scale virtual training environments for military simulation (VBS). It is a broad incumbent in defence simulation with overlapping allied-military customers and overlaps with BlueRoom in scenario-based operational training.

Direct peers

• SimX: SimX builds VR medical simulation software used by hospitals, EMS agencies and military medical teams. It is a direct peer to BlueRoom's TCCC and clinical training modules, with comparable use of head-mounted displays and a focus on scenario-based clinical training.
• VirtaMed: VirtaMed provides high-fidelity medical simulation training for surgery, interventional procedures, and ultrasound. It is a direct peer in clinical and procedural simulation, with comparable customers in teaching hospitals and medical schools globally.
• FundamentalVR: FundamentalVR builds immersive VR surgical training with haptic feedback for medical device companies, teaching hospitals and clinicians. It is a direct peer in haptics-enabled, fine-motor-skill medical simulation — the same core competency BlueRoom markets for aeromedical and tactical medical training.
• ImmersiveTouch: ImmersiveTouch builds VR simulation platforms for surgical training and healthcare education. It is a direct peer in XR-based clinical skill training with similar target customers (teaching hospitals, medical schools, surgical residents).

Emerging players

• STRIVR: STRIVR provides enterprise VR training for sports, retail, and frontline workforces. It is an emerging player in immersive enterprise training, comparable to BlueRoom's bespoke Game Studio and corporate XR work, though focused on different verticals.
