March 16, 2024. Vienna, Austria — PNX Labs USA, Inc, a company renowned for its specialization in the development of industrial and scientific simulations using Extended Reality (XR), today announced that it has joined Snapdragon Spaces™ Pathfinder Program. This program aims to bolster and support developers in creating cutting-edge solutions for the Lenovo ThinkReality VRX and future products supported by the Snapdragon Spaces XR Developer Platform.
Since its founding in 2017, PNX Labs has earned global recognition for its distinctive expertise in the manufacturing and industrial sectors. With a team composed entirely of developers and managers who boast experience in critical industries such as Automotive, Aerospace, Retail, Oil and Gas, Mining, Chemistry, Food, Biotech, and more, PNX Labs stands out as a premier partner for XR solutions. The company not only brings exceptional software development skills to the table but also an in-depth understanding of industry workings, specific training requirements, and process optimizations. The management team at PNX Labs has a storied history of contributions to multinational giants like General Motors, Tesla, Nemak, Metalsa, General Electric, CEMEX, and Pemex, underpinning the firm's rich industry knowledge and innovative prowess.
"Through utilizing Snapdragon Spaces, we will develop cutting-edge solutions for both enterprise and educational institutions, with a strong focus on diverse industries such as manufacturing and automotive, as well as in education in mechanical, chemical, and industrial engineering. The support of the Snapdragon Spaces Pathfinder Program can help us maintain a leading position in the industry." said Juan Eduardo Leal Lara, CEO of PNX Labs.
PNX Labs has already ported a total of 25 virtual reality labs to the Lenovo VRX, available through ArborXR. Some of these solutions include PNX CadXR, a suite for inspecting and visualizing CAD designs, and virtual labs for college education covering subjects such as Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Materials Science, Mechanics of Materials, and Advanced Manufacturing.
“Snapdragon Spaces is committed to fostering an expansive environment for XR developers, and we are excited to have PNX join our Pathfinder Program”, said Steve Lukas, Director, Product Management at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “By integrating the strengths of Snapdragon Spaces, PNX is even better set to accelerate the XR enterprise ecosystem and minimize the barriers to XR implementation across industries.”
As PNX Labs continues to expand its presence and capabilities within the XR technology sector, joining the Snapdragon Spaces Pathfinder Program marks a significant milestone.

Starting in September Lamar University in Texas will use for the first time a series of Virtual Labs for Engineering. Students will be able to do multiple experiments in both Windows PCs and VR Headsets, perform calculations, record data and modify key variables with real instrument models. All the data used to develop the simulations was gathered from real experimentation so students and professors can be confident the same data generated by the virtual labs will math that of the real world.
Starting in September 2021 the Florida International University will make use for the first time of a series of Virtual Labs for Engineering. Students will be able to do multiple experiments in both windows and HTML platforms, perform calculations, record data and modify key variables with real instrument models. All the data used to develop the simulations was gathered from real experimentation performed by the faculty so students and professors can be confident the same data generated by the virtual labs will match that of the real world. Some of the experiments that were developed by PNX Labs for FIU are the following:
