Illumix will use $8.6 million in funding to make augmented reality games
Illumix has raised $8.6 million to fuel its augmented reality technology and build games based on it.
Kirin Sinha, CEO of Menlo Park, California-based Illumix, said in an interview with GamesBeat that the company has cool technology that could be used as a platform for others, but for now the startup will focus on making its own smartphone-based augmented reality games. Sinha believes the company’s AR tech will distinguish itself because it handles occlusion well, meaning that virtual objects will look more realistic against the backdrop of the real world.
Sinha doesn’t necessarily believe that AR glasses will be adopted en masse anytime soon. Rather, she believes great AR experiences can be built on top of existing smartphones.
“We believe in providing a meaningful and compelling game using the smartphone that millions of people already have in their hands,” Sinha said.
