Citing sources close to the deal, TechCrunch reports that VR headset maker Vrvana has been acquired by Apple for $30 million.
Vrvana is a little known VR headset maker that’s been on the scene since 2014. The company was building the ‘Totem’ headset, which had gone to Kickstarter that year but came up short of its goal despite a positive start. At the time the company then opened pre-orders for the device, though it isn’t clear if those pre-ordered units ever shipped; the headset continued to evolve drastically in the years following, including an expanded emphasis on pass-through video and hand-tracking for AR experiences.
