Immersed

Immersed has created a virtual- and augmented-reality headset that enables you to work inside a virtual environment.

This company’s headset features a technology known as spatial computing — a combination of physical and virtual worlds that create an immersive experience. In fact, Immersed is really a three-pronged business, offering:

1. Proprietary software.
2. Next-generation hardware.
3. Artificial Intelligence.

You see, working through virtual headsets is becoming a fast-growing trend. Big-name companies like Google, Apple, and Sony are developed headsets featuring VR/AR technology.

But most of these headsets are too heavy, too bulky, or simply too ugly. They haven’t been a hit with consumers.

That’s why Immersed created something different. Its Visor headset has a higher resolution than Apple’s Vision Pro. It’s also seventy-percent lighter and seventy-percent more affordable.

Noted Palmer Luckey, Founder of Oculus, a VR company acquired by Facebook in March 2014 for two billion dollars, “I have literally hundreds of head-mounted displays, so believe me when I say Visor is something special.”

Powering Visor is Immersed’s spatial-computing software. This software virtualizes your work environment and gives you multiple virtual screens in a private, distraction-free setting. It even has screen-sharing capabilities for hybrid-remote teams.

Most recently, Immersed created Curator, an AI computer-using agent. Essentially, this works as an AI assistant that distills everything you observe and interact with into actionable tasks and insights.

Curator observes the work you do on your computer and in your virtual environment. Then it proactively nudges you toward your next productive step. It can even take on some actions for you.

Both Visor and Curator have pending patents covering their technology. Immersed has raised nineteen million dollars and generated around seven million dollars in revenue. Notably, the company has partnerships with Google, Samsung, Meta, Microsoft, and Intel.

Immersed aims to ship its Visors by the end of summer 2025.
