Hello everyone, I’m Kit Navock, and I recently stepped into the role of Chief Marketing Officer at Immersed. My journey here started after selling my own company. Like many who find themselves at a crossroads post-acquisition, I was contemplating my next steps, trying to figure out where my passions aligned with the work I wanted to do. After some reflection, I found myself drawn to the vision at Immersed, and now I’m inviting others to come along for the ride by investing as we are set to make some significant advances. But let me share how I got to this point.
Years ago, I became an early investor in Immersed and gradually got to know the team over casual dinners, movie nights, and brainstorming sessions at their Austin office. What began as casual interest grew into admiration. The team was not just intelligent; they were resilient, driven by mission, and deeply humble individuals.
Fast forward a few months, I found myself in a conversation with Renji, the founder of Immersed, sparked by a casual text about basketball. His suggestion that I join his team wasn’t one I took very seriously at first. However, the idea lingered. I found myself mulling it over, discussing it with trusted friends and mentors. Despite enjoying a relaxed lifestyle post-company sale, there was something about this opportunity that called to me.
Ultimately, my inner circle encouraged me to go for it. So here I am, accepting a position with a startup for less pay but with potential equity upside. It’s not about instant gains; it’s about believing in a project that could potentially redefine the tech landscape. Once I engaged with the technology at Immersed, I realized its groundbreaking potential—and everything clicked for me.
Let’s talk about visors. While I’m a bit of a newcomer to the world of extended reality, I’ve always been fascinated by tech. I might not have been the person tethered to VR headsets with makeshift setups in the early days, but I’m here now, exploring the capabilities of Apple’s Vision Pro for a taste of spatial computing.
I then had a chance to try Immersed’s Visor headset, and it was an eye-opener. Weighing less than a smartphone, this headset functions independently with dual 4K displays and a decent battery life. More importantly, it integrates seamlessly with essential tools like VS Code, Figma, and even Netflix. It’s not a cumbersome developer kit or an overpriced novelty—it fits into a regular workday effortlessly.
This isn’t just hardware; this represents a shift from an application to a comprehensive spatial computing platform, complete with Curator AI as an intuitive assistant that streamlines workflows and minimizes the need for constant context switching. It feels like what we hoped digital assistants would become.
Visor combined with Curator AI and OpenXR support means developers have the chance to create new tools directly onto this platform. This isn’t a mere upgrade of existing applications, but a rebuilt spatial productivity ecosystem from the ground up, with AI at its core.
So, why does all this matter now? Immersed is not about creating novelty experiences. We’re building a system for real-world use by engineers, creatives, business leaders, and more. With advancements in AI and robotics, the need for immersive, seamless platforms that integrate these technologies is greater than ever.
We’re enthusiastic about sharing Visor and the Immersed platform with the world. If you’ve been waiting for a company to step up with the right vision and the right technology, now is your moment. Be a part of Immersed, as we aim to make spatial computing accessible and integral to everyday life.
Let’s shape the future together. Reach out and own a piece of Immersed before the world catches on.—Kit
