PixelsHub

PixelsHub is an industrial extended reality and simulation studio based in Gijón, Spain. Founded in 2013 as a spin-off from the University of Oviedo’s engineering school in Gijón, it develops virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality and interactive 3D software for enterprise applications. Its work focuses on industrial training, assembly guidance, technical documentation and digital twins.

The studio combines industrial engineering knowledge with real-time 3D development to translate complex equipment, procedures and operational environments into interactive applications. These tools support occupational safety, standardized manufacturing processes, maintenance and the visualization of industrial data. Its markets include aerospace and defense, manufacturing and metallurgy, energy and renewables, maritime operations, and healthcare.

Training and industrial assistance

PixelsHub creates immersive simulations for procedures that can be difficult or hazardous to practise in operational settings. Applications described in its portfolio include aircraft cabin emergency protocols, maritime search-and-rescue procedures, heavy crane operations and collaborative cybersecurity training. Its healthcare work includes simulators for evaluating clinical and nursing procedures.

For production environments, the company develops step-by-step guidance for mechanical and electrical assembly, digital inspection workflows and interactive technical documentation. These applications help technicians navigate complex tasks through visual instructions and 3D representations of components and equipment.

Products and project work

Its product portfolio includes Cableo, an interactive cable-routing and assembly tool; Digital-Aero, a virtual and augmented platform for aeronautical manufacturing procedures; and PROC3D, which converts paper-based procedures into guided interactive 3D steps. The studio has also developed digital documentation and equipment-viewing applications for ventilation engineering company Zitrón.

In defense, PixelsHub has collaborated with Indra and the Spanish Army on digital twins and the Base Digital Logística, and with Spain’s Joint Cyberspace Command on multiplayer VR training. Its applications span desktop computers, mobile devices, tablets and immersive headsets, allowing industrial visualization and procedural guidance to be delivered through different interfaces according to the project.
