As per news report, Apple is planning to take over California-based virtual reality company NextVR. The deal will be worth $100 million.    

 

NextVR involves VR with sports, music, and entertainment, offering VR experiences for watching live events on VR headsets from PlayStation, HTC, Oculus, Google, Microsoft, and other manufacturers, reports MacRumors.

 

According to the NextVR website, the company has established partnerships with the NBA, Wimbledon, Fox Sports, the WWE and more.
