In October 2025, Apple notified the European Commission that it would be acquiring invrs.io LLC’s sole employee, and certain assets from the company. Following a four-month waiting period, the European Commission published this information this week.
That sole employee appears to be Martin Schubert, according to his LinkedIn profile. Schubert founded invrs.io in 2023 to advance AI-guided design, initially focusing on optical and photonics technologies for AR/VR, data centers, and more.
“Invrs develops open-source frameworks for photonics research, providing standardized simulation challenges and a public leaderboard for benchmarking and comparing design results,” reads a notice on the European Commission’s website.
Schubert’s systems could be useful for future Apple Vision Pro development, but it is unclear exactly what he was hired to work on at this point. He previously worked at Alphabet’s X, on AI-powered photonic design, and at Meta.
More details about invrs.io are available on GitHub.
Last month, Apple announced that it acquired Q.ai, an Israeli startup working on AI technology for audio. That was reportedly Apple’s second-biggest acquisition ever, with the deal valued at nearly $2 billion. Apple’s largest acquisition was the headphone brand Beats, which it bought for $3 billion in 2014. Apple Music launched a year later, and it was built on the foundation of the former Beats Music streaming service.
