Street Smarts VR (SSVR), the leader in immersive training solutions for conflict resolution, is proud to announce its acquisition of ChimeraXR (CXR), a fast growing developer of Extended Reality (XR) simulations. This strategic acquisition of Toronto-based CXR strengthens SSVR’s position as a frontrunner in tactical simulations and enhances its capabilities to serve the Canadian Department of National Defense, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and police services across Canada.
“Street Smarts and Chimera are deeply aligned in our mission to improve security, both globally and domestically, through world-class training of first responders,” said Oliver Noteware, CEO and Founder of Street Smarts. “Chimera’s culture and technical competencies are informed by their team’s personal experiences training for and conducting overseas operations, just like our team. We are incredibly impressed with the entire Chimera team. At Street Smarts, we are committed to attracting the best talent to deliver unparalleled training that enhances readiness and decision-making in complex environments.”
SSVR continues to invest in the expansion of its training platform. The acquisition of ChimeraXR introduces advanced AR and MR technologies, allowing for immersive training experiences in existing environments, thereby enhancing realism and relevance. These capabilities enable the creation of high-intensity, XR-based content such as active shooter scenarios and Vehicle CQB (VCQB) training. The integration of AR, MR, and VR technologies within the unified platform further solidifies SSVR’s position as the leading provider of comprehensive, immersive training solutions.
“After dedicating four years to building ChimeraXR, I am proud to now be part of the talented and like-minded team at SSVR.” said Taylor McCubbin, CEO of Chimera XR. “This new chapter presents a unique opportunity for our customers, partners, and suppliers to continue innovating and advancing simulation training for first responders, defense, and public safety agencies.”
