ABOUT US
VR with scientific roots
We're an Italian VR software house building with scientific method. We publish in peer-reviewed journals, collaborate with research institutions and ship real products.
Our story
Myndek was born at the intersection of academic research and software development. Matteo Marucci started building VR experiences at Sapienza during his PhD, then brought the same approach — measure, iterate, verify — outside the lab. Since then we've been shipping VR software for clinical research, corporate training and immersive experiences, with constant focus on usability, methodological rigor and measurable outcomes.

Scientific method
Define the goal, measure the baseline, iterate with evidence. No generic promises: every claim is backed by data or stated as a hypothesis.
Activatable capabilities
Neurotech (EEG, eye and hand tracking) and AI are tools we integrate when the project calls for them. They are not universal features nor marketing claims.
Real products
THERA is live on the Meta Store. Our simulation training runs on production hardware. We don't ship PowerPoint demos — we ship software people use.
Partners
We collaborate continuously with research institutes, hardware companies and industrial partners.
