realworld one

realworld one develops enterprise extended reality software for scientific and industrial environments. Its work spans virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality, with a particular focus on life sciences, pharmaceutical manufacturing, diagnostics, laboratory instrumentation and process engineering. The company builds immersive environments in which people can practise equipment operation, rehearse technical procedures and explore complex machinery through interactive 3D representations.

The business began as an internal VR/AR venture within IKA in 2015 and spun out as an independent company in December 2017. Based in Germany, it has developed an international engineering, design and commercial presence supporting enterprise deployments across several regions.

Training and execution

A central focus is helping frontline teams prepare for work in regulated environments. Its simulations cover aseptic cleanroom procedures, Good Manufacturing Practice training, equipment maintenance and field service engineer onboarding. Virtual practice allows users to rehearse tasks without interrupting active production or requiring access to the physical instrument throughout training.

The company positions its software as an immersive layer alongside enterprise systems used to manage manufacturing, quality and business operations. Its execution performance work connects training scenarios with operational procedures, certification needs and the practical demands of manufacturing and field service teams.

Collaborative product experiences

Beyond workforce training, realworld one creates virtual showrooms, remote demonstrations and shared workspaces for technical sales and customer engagement. Interactive equipment models and digital twins help users examine machinery, including internal components that may be difficult to see during a conventional demonstration. Multi-user experiences support collaboration around the same virtual equipment or environment.

Its commercial offering combines platform infrastructure, custom simulation development, operational consulting and deployment support. Projects can include identifying suitable use cases, adapting content to standard operating procedures, integrating enterprise security requirements and supporting devices, hardware procurement and ongoing implementation.

Published project examples include cleanroom training for Lonza, microscope demonstrations and maintenance training for ZEISS, diagnostic equipment service onboarding for Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, and a virtual experience for GEA Pharma’s ConsiGma 4.0 continuous manufacturing equipment. These applications illustrate its emphasis on connecting detailed equipment visualization with practical training and customer-facing workflows.
