Infinite Reality (iR), an artificial intelligence (AI) and immersive technology company, has acquired UK-based Landvault in a deal valued at $450m (£351m).
Landvault specialises in digital twins and immersive technology for Fortune 500 companies and government organisations.
It offers a suite of tools and infrastructure for creating, hosting, measuring, and monetising immersive experiences.
In conjunction with the acquisition, iR has secured a $350m investment from an undisclosed private multi family office, with a focus on technology, media, and real estate sectors.
This equity investment boosts iR’s valuation to $5.1bn and is distinct from the company’s ongoing SPAC transaction plans.
The fund raise and the acquisition will support iR’s goal to lead in spatial computing and AI-powered technologies, enhancing brand engagement and monetisation opportunities.
