With the new commercial license, Teletrix plans to expand the platform’s applications to improve worker readiness and safety. “We aim to expand our offerings with it to include new solutions for contamination, shielding, and other areas,” O’Connell said. The company is also exploring future development opportunities, such as customized solutions that map environments with exact dose rates for specific scenarios.

Teletrix’s collaboration with ORNL has been integral to the development of VIZRAD AR. “Working with ORNL through this project has been a great experience,” O’Connell said. “They have many resources that have been extremely helpful in assisting a small business to achieve a common goal of getting new technology out into the world.”

This commercial license marks a significant milestone, allowing Teletrix to bring a critical training tool to market and contribute to a safer, more prepared workforce.

The technology invention team includes Michael Smith, M. Scott Greenwood, Noel Nelson and Douglas Peplow, all of ORNL’sNuclear Energy and Fuel Cycle Division; and former ORNL researcher Nicholas Thompson. Significant support came from the Nuclear and Radiological Protection Division. The technology began as an exploratory, one-year seed project funded under ORNL’s Lab Directed Research and Development program.
