Hey buddies, I’m Package Navock, the brand new CMO at Immersed. Not way back, I bought my firm. And like plenty of founders post-acquisition, I used to be taking inventory—attempting to determine what sort of work (and what sort of individuals) I really wish to construct with subsequent. Lengthy story brief: I joined Immersed as its new CMO as a result of I now see the corporate’s imaginative and prescient. And now, those that can even see the imaginative and prescient can be a part of our journey by changing into an investor earlier than we proceed to speed up! However first, let me inform you how I ended up right here.

Immersed had been on my radar for some time. I used to be an early investor years in the past and acquired to know the crew slowly, the natural method—film nights, shared meals, and bouncing round concepts at their Austin workplace. In some unspecified time in the future, I even employed somebody from their good friend group at my acquired firm. What began as curiosity became deep respect. These weren’t simply good individuals — they have been good individuals — gritty, formidable, humble, and mission-driven.

Quick-forward to a few months in the past, I texted Renji (Immersed’s founder) about some basketball information. His reply?

“You must come work with us.”

It wasn’t an apparent selection. I solely took his name to amuse him. Even when I hadn’t recognized him for years, he’s a fairly compelling man. The thought caught with me. I considered it for days. I referred to as my inside circle—the chums and mentors I belief most. I advised them I used to be dwelling the nice life: consulting 20 hours per week, recent off promoting an organization, lastly slowing down a bit. However this chance simply felt… totally different.

And so they all stated the identical factor: You must go for it.

I took a decrease wage than I’ve had in years, with fairness that may not be liquid for some time. However I wasn’t becoming a member of for a fast win—I used to be becoming a member of as a result of I believed within the individuals and the product for one thing that may turn out to be the following tech large. And after I lastly acquired hands-on with what they’re constructing, my thoughts was blown. All of it lastly clicked.

Visor: The XR Machine That Shouldn’t Exist, However Does

I’ll be actual—I’m newer to XR.

To not tech generally, however to this AR/VR world. I wasn’t the man duct-taping sensors to my face and hacking OpenVR builds again in 2016. I’m a mainstreamer. A noob. I had purchased an Apple Imaginative and prescient Professional simply to see what spatial computing felt like.

It typically labored. I used to be extra productive, extra centered. Then I attempted Visor—Immersed’s personal headset—and it was the whole lot I didn’t know I needed.

Visor weighs ~186g (lighter than my telephone), appears to be like like thick sun shades, runs standalone with twin 4K micro-OLED shows and a 3-hour battery. However extra importantly, it’s constructed for actual instruments: VS Code, Figma, e mail, Blender, terminal, tabs, Netflix. It didn’t really feel prefer it was made as a posthumous add-on to my pc.

It’s not a devkit.
It’s not a toy.
It’s not heavy.
It’s not $3,499.
It’s simply… the one that matches into an precise workday.

I could also be new right here, however even I can inform: this isn’t some prototype.
It’s the primary headset that made me suppose, “Oh—that is prepared for the remainder of the world to get onboard.”

From App to Platform (and AI Co-Pilot)

When you’ve used Immersed (and also you in all probability have), you already know: it’s the most-used AR/VR productiveness app on the planet. Multi-monitor AR/VR workspaces. Low-latency streaming. Actual-time collaboration throughout platforms. Tens of thousands and thousands of periods. Hundreds of energy customers grinding by way of actual work in XR.

Now, with Visor, we’re going past simply an app. It’s the entrance door to a full spatial computing platform—an OS constructed for focus, deep work, and native 3D instruments (not floating 2D home windows). In my head, that is form of how Steve Jobs considered Apple; he needed to construct a whole ecosystem.

For me, what actually sealed this line of pondering was Curator AI—a built-in co-pilot that understands my workflow, reduces context switching, and quietly boosts my productiveness. It’s not a bolt-on gimmick—it’s the connective tissue of the platform. I don’t suppose I’m alone in pondering that is additionally what I needed Siri to be proper now, nevertheless it’s not.

Furthermore, the Immersed platform mixed with the Visor and Curator AI —this strikes us past simply LLMs into the bodily house. And since it’s OpenXR-compatible, devs can construct proper on high—whether or not it’s instruments, brokers, or total apps.

This isn’t about porting your desktop into 3D. It’s about constructing spatial productiveness from the bottom up—with AI baked in from day one. It’s constructed for the builders.

Why This Issues Now

I didn’t be a part of Immersed simply to speak about screens floating in house and speaking avatars. I joined as a result of I consider spatial computing goes to reshape how we work and dwell. The mixture of immersive environments, native instruments, and always-on AI assist is a strong leap—and it’s arriving sooner than most individuals suppose. I believe the individuals at Immersed have the imaginative and prescient, the tech, and the individuals to make this occur. That’s why I joined.

This isn’t only for hobbyists. What Immersed is constructing is for engineers, designers, merchants, artists, founders, filmmakers—anybody who works on a display screen. And as AI brokers and humanoid robotics proceed to evolve, the worth of an immersive spatial platform that simply works is simply going to develop.

Visor is greater than a headset. The Immersed platform is greater than only a digital actuality house the place we will work. Curator is extra than simply an LLM AI agent. Collectively, they kind a whole ecosystem for us to all stage up.

We’re tremendous pumped to share this with all of you.

When you’ve been ready for somebody to construct the appropriate headset—and the appropriate firm behind it—now’s your probability to be a part of it. Be part of Immersed in bringing spatial computing to the plenty.
