Google acquires Raxium, a startup that specializes in MicroLED, in a push that could help the tech giant expand in VR.
Google has announced their acquisition of Raxium, a tech startup that specializes in MicroLED technologies. The latter, because of its ability to facilitate displays that are high in quality, yet small and energy-efficient, is perfectly suited for use in VR and AR headsets.
For the time being, only two things are certain. Firstly, Raxium will join the Devices & Services division of the company. Secondly, they will play a part in advancing Google’s expanding hardware efforts. Google hopes that through Raxium they will have a part to play in shaping the future of display technologies. It is increasingly likely that Google’s long-term ambition is to have a leading role in the expanding augmented/virtual reality market.
All of this culminates in “Project Iris” the codename for Google’s take on augmented reality. Currently, the product is in the early stages of development and a launch date set before 2024 is unrealistic.
