Dynepic Levels-Up With Two New Awards This Year!

When we started Dynepic, we knew life would never be dull 😏 and 2024 is living up to that prediction! 

Today we’re celebrating being a two-time honoree on the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. To be considered for list inclusion, it takes significant year-over-year revenue growth and a competitive edge. To be included two years in a row? That’s #dynEPIC!

Combined with this year’s XR Today Award recognizing MOTAR as the Best Enterprise Solution, we’re feeling especially grateful. And while we don’t work to #LevelUp humanity for recognition, it's incredible to have others promoting what we’ve worked so hard to create. 

Cheers! 🥂

Dynepic’s MOTAR to Include AI-Enabled Immersive Lesson Builder

Dynepic’s MOTAR to Include AI-Enabled Immersive Lesson Builder

Phase I SBIR Contract Awarded to Support US Department of the Air Force 

(RENO, NV) – Dynepic®, Inc. announces it has been selected by AFWERX for a Phase I SBIR contract in the amount of $75k focused on adapting its MOTAR® Platform to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force (DAF). 

The Air Force Research Laboratory and AFWERX have partnered to streamline the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process by accelerating the small business experience through faster proposal to award timelines, changing the pool of potential applicants by expanding opportunities to small business and eliminating bureaucratic overhead by continually implementing process improvement changes in contract execution. The DAF began offering the Open Topic SBIR/STTR program in 2018 which expanded the range of innovations the DAF funded and this month Dynepic will start its journey to create and provide innovative capabilities that will strengthen the national defense of the United States of America.

“Through working with instructional designers on MOTAR, we identified a critical need: the ability to easily and quickly create immersive lessons that increase student engagement, retention, and training readiness, without needing to use external software or coding.” explained Krissa Watry, Dynepic Co-Founder and CEO. “To meet that need, this contract allows us to develop a native, AI-enabled MOTAR Immersive Lesson Builder that empowers users to rapidly create multi-dimensional lessons with immersive scenes, 360° images, models, and multi-modal content selected from MOTAR Hub. Delivered through MOTAR’s XR-optimized learning content management system (LCMS), the resulting lessons work across any device including smart phones and VR headsets, are easily shareable, and are enabled to collect and report student performance metrics.” 

Watry added that the company is currently asking US Air Force and Space Force personnel interested in supporting or testing this capability to reach out. A government only meeting is being scheduled. If you have questions or want to be included, please email teamMOTAR@dynepic.com

MOTAR Vendor Spotlight: Adaptive Immersion

MOTAR Vendor Spotlight: Adaptive Immersion

We have another great MOTAR Ecosystem Spotlight to share today, this time on Adaptive Immersion 

One read of Adaptive’s mission statement and it’s clear why they’re a perfect fit to activate on MOTAR:

MISSION: To equip our Warfighters with revolutionary innovations for performance prediction and enhancement that save lives.

To do this, the Adaptive Immersion team have become experts in building VR solutions to support those with some of the most dangerous roles in the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community. To get their most recent app in the hands of Warfighters, Adaptive recently participated in the STRIKEWERX Advanced Training Concepts Challenge and were chosen to be promoted to production and now available for use at motar.io. 

“It’s been an honor to watch Adaptive Immersion take their app from concept to reality, leveraging the power of STRIKEWERX support and now activating on MOTAR,” said Christina Padron, VP of Partnerships and Growth at Dynepic. 

The company’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) VR Training System app provides an immersive experience to help train EOD operators performing triage and recovery for a downed aircraft carrying nuclear arsenal. This app provides training of a critical capability, preparing Airmen to safely execute and maintain critical skills in hazardous environments.  

"Our EOD VR Training System provides Warfighters with a safe and immersive environment to repeatedly practice the critical skills needed for the Broken Arrow mission, one of the most hazardous situations imaginable," said Phillip Mangos, Adaptive Immersion’s Founder and CEO. "The virtual training capability for this mission paves the way for enhanced readiness while mitigating risk. MOTAR has enabled us to rapidly accelerate the delivery of this critical capability into the hands of EOD operators.”
