Neville Spiteri has been dreaming about VR for a long time, and his company Wevr was early with the high-end underwater exploration game, The Blu, for virtual reality fans.

Released in episodic form, the Blu and its wonderful imagery of sea creatures helped consumers understand just how immersive VR could be. Spiteri is also creating Transport, a VR content creation and sharing network. That plan enabled the company to raise $25 million in funding earlier this year.
