Meanwhile, heftier VR products from Facebook’s Oculus and MagicLeap have mostly been for gamers.
The money comes from investors Horizons Ventures Limited, Banyan Capital, Comcast Ventures, GQY and Tencent and represents a significant show of faith in the company and its products: it’s competitors, namely Microsoft’s Hololens and Google-backed MagicLeap , are already well-funded, to say the least.
