Barcelona, Spain – At the MWC 2025 exhibition hall, the Virnect booth was bustling with visitors eager to experience industrial innovation solutions powered by the fusion of AI and XR technologies. The spotlight was particularly on the debut of the AI-powered industrial smart goggles. VisionX, and the remote robotics solution, Robosim.

At the event, we had the opportunity to speak directly with Taejin Ha, CEO of Virnect, who also serves as a special professor in the Department of Drone and Robot Military Studies at Jungwon University and an adjunct professor in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Busan National University.

CEO Taejin Ha stated, “Until now, we’ve been relying on foreign hardware in the field, but we began to recognize its limitations. That’s why we decided to develop our own hardware in collaboration with other companies.” He emphasized, “VisionX and Robosim are the result of integrating the exact features we needed.”

"AI-powered industrial goggles ‘VisionX’ enable faster, more accurate operations through voice control."

“What if workers on industrial sites could instantly access the information they need—without using their hands?” CEO Ha continued his explanation while showing a demonstration video of VisionX.

VisionX is an AI-powered smart goggle that can be controlled entirely through voice commands. Say “Take a photo,” and it captures an image automatically. Say “Show equipment status,” and it instantly provides real-time information.
It also incorporates Augmented Reality (AR) technology, allowing workers to view procedural guides right in front of their eyes as they perform tasks.

"In the past, workers had to carry paper manuals around while doing their tasks. But with VisionX, they can now view work procedures directly through AR,” he explained. It can even be used to train new employees, and thanks to its real-time voice translation feature, foreign workers can follow along easily as well.

Virnect is currently developing VisionX with the goal of mass production in the third quarter of 2025. “Up until now, companies like Samsung Electronics, SK On, and LG Energy Solution have been using our existing solutions. Going forward, VisionX will be integrated to set a new standard for industrial smart goggles,” the CEO said. “Through this exhibition, we also plan to actively expand into the European market.”

“‘Robosim’, an XR and AI-powered remote robotics solution, draws attention with live demonstrations.”

The highlight of MWC 2025 was undoubtedly the live remote control demonstration of Robosim. “See over there? The robot is navigating the site and performing tasks on its own, without any direct human control,” the presenter explained.

Robosim is a remote robotics solution powered by XR and AI technologies.

It enables robots to autonomously navigate and transmit real-time video even in hazardous areas that are difficult for humans to access.
Additionally, by leveraging digital twin technology, it creates a virtual work environment where operators can control the robot remotely.

“When factories are located in remote areas or overseas, it’s not always easy for engineers to be on-site,” CEO Taejin Ha explained.
“With Robosim, you can issue real-time work instructions remotely.”

He went on to explain the background behind Robosim’s development, emphasizing that “the core isn’t just remote robot control — it’s about real-time collaboration and AI-powered risk detection.”

“Now, tasks can be carried out without the need for personnel to be physically present. We’re also seeing strong interest from the European market,” he added.

"Developing hardware ourselves to complete the XR ecosystem"

CEO Taejin Ha also shared insights into Virnect’s strategic direction.
“Until now, we’ve focused mainly on software — including remote collaboration solutions like ‘Virnect Remote’ and AR content creation tools like ‘Make&View,’ all based on XR technology. But we began to experience limitations while using foreign-made smart glasses in the field. That’s why we decided to develop our own hardware,” he explained.

He continued, “Our solutions are already being used by major companies such as Samsung Electronics, SK On, LG Chem, and HD Hyundai. But we realized that to fully unlock the potential of XR technology, dedicated hardware is essential. That’s what led us to develop VisionX and Robosim in-house.”

CEO Taejin Ha also expressed his ambition to make MWC 2025 a turning point for Virnect’s expansion into the global market.
“Interest in smart manufacturing and XR technology is growing rapidly in Europe,” he said. “Through this exhibition, we aim to secure European partners and strengthen our global collaborations.”
