2026 may prove to be another significant year for Viture.
Viture has recently completed a notable 2025; at least, that’s what it claims, but 2026 could maintain that momentum.
In the upcoming months, Viture announced in a press release that it has secured an additional $100 million in its latest funding round. The company asserts this is its second major round, following another $100 million from September 2025, which brings its total capital raised to $200 million. This milestone comes with valuable support, as Viture mentions Legend Capital, an investment division with Lenovo connections, “in collaboration with a group of distinguished strategic investors from the global technology ecosystem.”
Viture also credits its recent capital acquisition to the Bertelsmann Group and other previous contributors.
The company then included a brief summary in its press release, reiterating its venture into “enterprise and medical applications.” In October, Viture partnered with NVIDIA and Stanford Medicine, integrating AR and AI technology into the workplace to “enhance laboratory workflows and expedite research processes.” Shifting to the consumer realm, Viture’s 2025 featured the Luma series, including the Luma Ultra and The Beast.
As March approaches, Viture’s 2026 projections entail advancing with “next-generation product development, global expansion, and enhanced strategic partnerships across the XR ecosystem.”
Here’s a bit more to understand
A significant aspect of Viture’s 2025 was its legal confrontation with Xreal. This conflict, which initially began in Europe, transitioned into the U.S. last month, involving a Texas court in the proceedings. Xreal alleged that Viture was “unlawfully” utilizing its patents across various models of its smart glasses. Viture asserted that it has filed a counter against Xreal, stating that the claims are “baseless.”
The company expressed similar views in its press release today (Feb 26), providing the following official statement: “We believe the claims are without merit. VITURE has independently created its products and respects legitimate intellectual property rights. We will resolve these issues through the appropriate legal channels while remaining dedicated to delivering innovative products and serving our customers.”
Android Central’s Perspective
XR glasses aren’t typically my area of expertise; however, they are well within the realm of my colleague, Nicholas Sutrich. Earlier this year, he compared the Viture Beast with the Xreal 1S to determine which model was the best for consumers. In brief, while Viture has offered a “compelling” alternative to Xreal’s offering, Xreal remains competitive. Both products have their merits, allowing consumers to explore further to see which might suit them best. In my view, there’s little doubt that Viture will forge ahead with significant momentum in 2026, given the funding it has accumulated. The only question is: what can we anticipate next?
