GravityXR Closes Hundreds of Millions of RMB in Series A Funding to Advance Dedicated Chip for "XR Spatial Computing"

GravityXR, an XR (Extended Reality) spatial computing chip design company, recently completed a Series A financing round of several hundred million RMB. Since its founding in September 2021, the company has now completed four funding rounds total. This round was led by Monolith, with participation from Ningbo Tongshang Fund, China Merchants Capital, and Haiding Capital. Existing investors miHoYo, Yaotu Capital, Tongge Venture Capital, Zhongyuan Capital, 37 Interactive Entertainment, and Sequoia Capital also continued to invest. Gaorong Ventures had previously led GravityXR's angel round in 2021 and also participated in its Pre-A round.

Chips as the Platform, Driving Ultimate XR Experiences

GravityXR is an XR spatial computing chip design company focused on developing specialized chips and related components for XR devices (AR glasses/VR headsets/MR headsets), committed to providing complete next-generation XR spatial computing technology solutions — with core chips as the foundation, supported by hardware technology and algorithms.

In recent years, XR technology has steadily matured. High-definition displays, precision sensors, and powerful integrated circuit computing capabilities have all provided solid technical foundations for XR experiences. Meanwhile, the maturing content ecosystem has also provided important support for the XR industry's growth.

Throughout this process, the importance of XR chips cannot be overlooked. As a core component of XR devices, chip performance directly impacts user experience. As XR component technology continues to evolve and user expectations for XR experiences rise, the industry demands ever-greater computing power and more sophisticated algorithms from XR chips. More powerful computing capabilities, faster image processing speeds, and lower power consumption all represent critical technical challenges that XR chips must overcome.

GravityXR conducts in-depth research into how chips affect XR experiences across image processing, display, perception, and virtual-real fusion. Ultimate visual experiences place extremely high demands on display resolution, GPU performance, data transmission and processing, and image quality. MR based on VST (Video See Through) imposes even stricter requirements on camera image quality, spatial positioning, and 3D reconstruction. The transformation toward new natural interaction methods has made hand gesture plus eye-tracking essential.

Addressing multi-dimensional needs alongside device power constraints, GravityXR is dedicated to building a chip that delivers ultimate XR experiences. This chip provides targeted performance optimization for XR-specific components (displays, perception sensors, etc.), offering low-latency real-time 4K and 120Hz image rendering, sensor data processing, and mixed reality interaction capabilities. Its self-developed algorithms not only reduce motion sickness from image content, provide image correction capabilities, and enhance display effects, but also enable entirely new interaction modes for devices.

System-Level Test Platform for Early Verification of Chip Algorithms and Metrics

Before tape-out, GravityXR collaborated with major industry players to develop a system-level test platform. This partnership enables early verification of chip algorithms and architecture, demonstration of partial chip function integration, and real-time VST effects. Additionally, the platform can demonstrate data integration with main chips, proving the system's efficient data transmission and processing capabilities — thereby showcasing GravityXR's technical capabilities and innovation to potential customers.

GravityXR will continue working with partners to drive technological innovation and advancement, continuously improving product performance and functionality. At the same time, the company will incorporate customer feedback and requirements to continuously optimize and refine its products to meet diverse user needs.

Starting from User Experience, Creating a New World of Virtual-Real Fusion

GravityXR believes that XR technology aims to create an entirely new world that fuses virtual and reality. This world will be human-centered, providing unprecedented experiences. XR technology will transcend spatial limitations, allowing us to summon objects and devices at will, while elevating our perception, memory, and cognitive abilities to extraordinary levels. This will fundamentally transform human-computer interaction, making it entirely scenario-driven — even to the point where we no longer perceive the interaction itself, achieving an anytime, anywhere, everywhere experience.

Going forward, GravityXR will start from user experience to bring users more realistic, immersive, and personalized ultimate XR sensory experiences, enabling people to move freely between virtual and real worlds.
