Virtual reality app store Wear VR secures $1.5M in funding
Coming up on a year on the market, Wear VR now has 900 unique virtual reality apps. Collectively, consumers have downloaded that software more than 200,000 times. And all of this comes even though no major VR company is selling their devices to consumers yet.
Wear VR is trying to establish itself now so that content-hungry early adopters have a place to go when they’re looking for something new. That might include 360-degree videos, which is something that Wear VR is investing in.
The company also says that it will continue to operate agnostic of the various VR platforms. Even as Oculus and the other companies release their consumer hardware and official stores, Wear VR will operate independently.
