About Ascent XR
We create virtual reality experiences for real-world results.
Our Story
Ascent XR was founded in 2017 in Fishers, Indiana by a team of filmmakers, instructional designers, and 3D artists who believed immersive technology could change the way people learn, train, and experience the world.
What started as custom VR projects for enterprise clients evolved into a platform company. Today, we build two products — Learning Time for K-12 spatial learning and Career Time for immersive career exploration — alongside custom immersive experiences for museums, trade shows, and corporate training.
Our mission is simple: use spatial technology to create outcomes that matter. Higher test scores. Faster training. Deeper engagement. Real results.
