Better Health for All

The company's VR/AR products and services demonstrate a strategic focus on health-positive impact, with offerings delivering substantial health benefits. VR interventions have led to significant reductions in anxiety and depression for pediatric cancer patients, and the company provides VR platforms for mental health therapy, support for transgender youth, and substance use disorder treatment.

No revenue from products with established negative health outcomes is reported. While some VR experiences are provided at no cost to hospitalized children, there is insufficient information to assess the overall price accessibility or vulnerable reach of the company's health-related products. The company's VR platform is used for mental health therapy and support, and for mitigating pain, loneliness, and anxiety in hospitalized children. VR is also presented as a tool to mitigate addiction by providing remote peer support and clinical guidance. During the pandemic, the company focused on addressing increased anxiety in hospitalized children. However, there is no specific quantitative data to assess the scale or impact of these initiatives against the rubric's thresholds for price accessibility, vulnerable reach, health equity programs, or addiction mitigation beyond a neutral or general positive mention. There is no evidence regarding user harm, recalls, or adverse events, nor any discussion of health risks or benefits requiring disclosure. The company's operations are not directly relevant to healthcare workforce support, preventative health measures, health data responsibility, pharmaceutical patents, nutrition/food safety, healthcare education, or clinical trials.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

The company has an employee rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars based on 18 company reviews, with 78% of employees stating they would recommend working there to a friend.

Employees rate their compensation and benefits at 3.0 out of 5, and one former employee cited 'Non-competitive pay'.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

The Glimpse Group, Inc. (VRAR.US) operates as a virtual reality and augmented reality platform company, primarily focused on software and services.

Its revenue streams are derived from the sales of VR/AR software, services, and solutions. Given this business model, the company does not appear to procure or trade physical commodities that would typically require fair-trade certifications, supply chain audits for physical goods, or have exposure to upstream labor practices related to material sourcing. Therefore, all KPIs related to physical commodity sourcing, fair trade, and supply chain practices are scored as N/A.

Kind to Animals

The Glimpse Group, Inc. operates as a virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) platform company, providing software and services.

Its business model does not involve animal testing, animal-derived ingredients, animal husbandry, or operations that directly impact wildlife habitats. Therefore, all KPIs related to animal welfare are not applicable to its business model.

No War, No Weapons

The company has secured a $4 million contract with the U.S. Department of Defense for a Spatial Computing ecosystem, which is for a one-year duration.

With a projected FY25 revenue of $11-12 million, this defense contract represents approximately 33-36% of the company's anticipated revenue. The technology involved, including AI and spatial computing for an immersive simulator, is intended to enhance defense capabilities.

Safe & Smart Tech

The company has reported no material cybersecurity incidents to date and does not believe any cybersecurity threats have materially affected it, despite working with high-value targets like the U.S. Department of Defense.

This indicates a perfect security record. Similarly, there are no documented incidents of unauthorized data use. The company has a cybersecurity risk management program led by a Director of IT, overseen by the board, and based on industry frameworks like NIST. This program includes risk assessments, security controls, incident response protocols, business continuity planning, and the use of external service providers for assessment and testing. Cybersecurity awareness training is provided to employees, incident response personnel, and senior management. However, users rarely have clear visibility or meaningful control over data flows, including downstream uses by third parties, indicating basic data control options with significant limitations. Specific details on the frequency and rigor of security testing, the extent of data minimization practices, or the percentage of products assessed for privacy impacts are not provided. There is no information on bug bounty programs, specific privacy certifications, or AI ethics governance.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

The provided articles do not contain any specific, quantitative data or verifiable actions related to VRAR.US's performance on waste reduction, product recyclability, sustainable packaging, or other zero-waste and sustainable product metrics.

While some articles discuss the potential of AR/VR technologies for sustainability in general, or mention initiatives by other companies, there is no evidence directly attributable to VRAR.US for any of the KPIs in the rubric.
