IMEROPEX, Inc

IMEROPEX™ provides clients a platform for experiencing and resolving crises in an alternate virtual reality…to prevent or limit their occurrence in the real world.

Building on his 20-year experience in running the DOD/DHS SIMEX Program, the IMEROPEX founder and his team will provide public and private crisis managers a Persistent Environment for Experimentation and Rehearsal (PEER) that immerses their operators in crisis action scenarios (pre-mortems) such as school shootings and then decomposes them to understand causality. IMEROPEX will also advance the use of the patent pending Full Dive VR Units (FDVUs) that will give the IMEROPEX operators a multi-sensory experience almost indistinguishable from the real world.

Government and industry crisis managers are always looking for tools that will identify procedures and technologies for crisis mitigation or prevention prior to the occurrence of the crisis.

IMEROPEX will offer the rigor of a Monte Carlo simulation, the realism of a field event, and the concept development of a tabletop exercise. As currently employed, Monte Carlo simulations omit the essential element of human interaction; field events are hard to control, calibrate and manage and tabletop exercises can often devolve into thought experiments or seminars.

The FDVUs are the technical centerpiece of the IMEROPEX program that will give operators a more realistic experience during the experiments. Currently, individual vendors develop and market VR headsets, haptic gloves, body suits, treadmills, and software separately for specific customers. All the above devices are designed to operate in isolation and address specific VR components such as visualization, bodily sensations, locomotion, or haptics. The patent pending FDVU will be an integration of advanced virtual reality (VR) technologies providing an immersive experience indistinguishable from the real world. Enabled by the realistic VR environment, the Trademarked IMEROPEX data science approach will generate data-driven recommendations for crisis mitigation techniques and technologies.

IMEROPEX will intersect and shape the following global markets: the $12.7 Billion modeling and simulation marker; the $132.4 Billion Crisis Management Market; the $8 Billion Crisis Management Insurance Market; and the $22 Billion Virtual Reality Market. Clients could include public and private crisis/emergency managers; first responders; private security firms; and insurance underwriters.

Google, Apple, and Meta (Reality Labs), Microsoft, Unity and other vendors are all developing and marketing selected VR system components such as headsets, treadmills, haptic gloves, body suits and game engines but none are currently offering a fully immersive “Full Dive” VR experience provided by the FDVUs. Multiple Federal Contractors and VR studios are also offering VR services for operational training, but very few (if any) provide VR as a service for risk analysis and crisis mitigation. The founder has attracted an eclectic team of engineers, HW/SW integrators and developers, and data scientists to make IMEROPEX a reality.

IMEROPEX is launching its first School Safety Pilot in partnership with a Texas Independent School District (ISD), focusing on mitigating the impact of active shooter incidents through cutting-edge crisis management solutions. The partnership centers on designing and executing crisis scenarios powered by IMEROPEX's advanced data science and VR technologies. These VR scenarios will immerse school staff, law enforcement, and students in realistic crisis simulations, allowing them to experience and resolve potential emergencies in a safe, controlled environment.

What sets this pilot apart is the integration of advanced data analysis, data science, and AI technologies. Each scenario will generate large datasets on human behaviors, response times, and decision-making processes, which will be analyzed using data science techniques to extract valuable insights. These insights will help schools identify and refine their emergency protocols based on real-time feedback.

The IMEROPEX Founder has 20 years of experience in developing and managing the DOD/DHS Simulation Experimentation (SIMEX) Program. The Co- Founders and other team member have cumulatively over 100 years of experience in software/hardware development and integration as well as data science and modeling and simulation.

Our board of advisors includes a retired Army Major General; a former AIG Executive; the Executive Director of the International Virtual Reality Healthcare Association; and an architect and serial entrepreneur.

Initial investment of $1.157 million in the IMEROPEX Pilot Event will shape, evolve, and promote the IMEROPEX process and related FDVU and data science technologies. This pilot event should not only satisfy the client, investors, and stakeholders, but also attract other clients interested in other or related IMEROPEX themes. The first Pilot Event will be a School Safety IMEROPEX focused on examining factors that mitigate active shooter injuries and fatalities in Texas School Districts

IMEROPEX’s revenue projections are driven by the sale of small, medium, and large contracts at price points of $50,000, $75,000, and $100,000 respectively. The model projects increasing sales across these contract types each year, driven by IMEROPEX’s expansion into new geographic areas, sectors, and crisis management themes. Each contract will cover the tailored development and execution of specialized VR and data science scenarios for a variety of emergency/crisis management customers--beginning with school district police departments.

Multiple Contractors and VR studios are offering VR services for either entertainment or operational training. IMEROPEX will harness advanced VR and data science technologies for crisis "pre-mortems" that identify risks and their mitigation before the crisis actually occurs.
