There are also Blue Bear Capital, Happiness Ventures, and Sequoia, which have poured $17 million into Mira before Apple's acquisition.
The funds are used to develop the head-up and software display, which facilitates the creation of AR applications, games and experiences.
"Apple is buying technology companies that are smaller over time, and we generally don't talk about our goals or plans," Apple said of the acquisition to The Verge, quoted Wednesday, June 7.
