Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Immersed develops spatial-computing software that turns AR/VR headsets into portable multi-monitor workstations. Its desktop agent runs on macOS 11+, Windows 10 64-bit and Linux and streams up to five virtual screens from a user's computer into a headset, without additional hardware. Features include curved and portrait screen layouts, resolutions up to 2560x1400 with the Pro subscription, locally saved screen layouts, audio streaming from the computer to the headset, mirroring of a phone or tablet alongside the computer, automatic blackout of a laptop display for privacy, and passthrough mode on Apple Vision Pro. Alongside solo "private workspace" use, the product supports telepresence for four or more people in a shared virtual room, sharing of up to five screens across different computers, and remote whiteboarding.

The company describes three product verticals: the hardware-agnostic Immersed software; Visor, a work-focused headset it says offers 4K per eye, higher resolution than Apple Vision Pro, roughly 70% lighter weight and 70% lower price; and Curator, a beta AI assistant that summarizes meetings, organizes the day and automates routine tasks by leveraging Immersed's existing ability to control a computer from a headset. Immersed positions itself as building tools for remote and distributed knowledge workers, stating a goal of removing remote-work barriers to improve productivity.

Business model

Immersed distributes a free virtual-workspace application for AR/VR headsets with paid upgrades, including an Immersed Pro subscription that unlocks higher screen resolutions and additional virtual monitors beyond the free tier of three screens. The company is extending this software base into two adjacent lines: Visor, a work-focused headset it sells via reservations, and Curator, an AI assistant in beta. It has also raised capital directly from retail investors through an online offering with a $1,000 minimum investment.

History

Founded in 2017, Immersed is associated with the Techstars network and has been listed with locations in Austin, Texas and Cincinnati, Ohio. The company says its XR work software launched in 2020. In August 2023 it agreed to a business combination with SPAC Maquia Capital Acquisition Corporation valued at approximately $150 million; a prospectus filed in April 2024 described a $297 million transaction value and $284 million equity value, with financing from $11.9 million of trust cash, a $3.1 million PIPE, a $3 million convertible note and $150 million of Immersed rollover funds. The parties mutually terminated the deal on May 23, 2024, and Maquia said it would continue searching for a target. Immersed subsequently shipped an app for Apple Vision Pro and has continued an online investment offering ahead of a stated potential IPO.
