Who We Are

HTX Labs is a fully remote, immersive learning software company, that values collaboration and innovation as key drivers to achieving our mission to accelerate the future of learning.

Our team of dedicated and experienced artists, developers, engineers, and strategists work together to produce and deliver immersive learning software solutions and content development services to maximize operational efficiency, improve safety, and modernize critical training across the defense industry and commercial enterprises.

HTX Labs Origin Story

In 2017, HTX's Co-Founders saw an opportunity to leverage innovative immersive technologies to transform critical training.

While working at Station Houston, a former startup accelerator based in Houston, Texas, the EMPACT Immersive Learning Platform was developed to address the challenges experienced in bringing immersive technologies like Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality, collectively referred to as Extended Reality or XR, to the Department of Defense and Enterprise customers.

Over the past six years, HTX has enhanced and optimized EMPACT to offer a suite of capabilities that enable users to create, deploy, measure, and sustain immersive assets, content, and training programs to deliver hands-on learning opportunities anytime, anywhere, on any device, with anyone, at scale.
