The project secured a Series B round of $120 M in early 2021, with investors ranging from venture‑capital firms focused on spatial computing (e.g., Spatial Capital) to strategic partners in the entertainment industry (e.g., Warner Bros. Pictures). Early hardware collaborations included Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2+, NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada, and Apple M3 Ultra, ensuring that the engine would be optimised for the leading graphics and compute platforms.

    // Initialise engine (auto‑detect hardware)
