Apple could be developing virtual reality products

Today, the world of virtual reality is dominated by Oculus, Samsung and Sony, but in a future Apple could join this trio of brands. Apparently, there have been lists of contracting the website of the company in which the services of a programmer, an expert in games and an engineer are required. The essential requirement for the position is to have experience in the world of virtual reality.

 Mysteriously, these lists have disappeared from their official website, but not before the middle 9toMac could make a screenshot. This can only indicate two things: first, that the multinational has already found the candidates; second, that Apple has been pushed back. Specifically, the job advertisement software engineer said you needed someone who “had work experience in augmented reality and virtual”.

 Anyway, it’s not the first time we hear that the guys still raising Cupertino develop a product with this type of technology. In 2006 and 2008, Apple applied for a patent for virtual reality goggles. So, if we combine this information with the lists newly leaked, it appears that the company is preparing to develop a very interesting device.

 A second list requesting a worker who was familiar with the design and development of virtual reality glasses Oculus Rift and the “Leap Motion ,” a system with a sensor that allows us to control the computer using gestures in the air. For that reason, it seems that Apple would focus its product to the world of video games and entertainment.

 In the third list, is looking for a person who is capable of working with the Unreal and Unity engine, known to be the most incorporating games that are on the App Store. The truth is, is that if the end is carried out, would be a very interesting product, because the gameplay could be much more immersive than it is today in the terminals of the mark. And it is not the same as looking at the screen of a computer or a smartphone, to have an immersive experience. For now, we can only wait for Apple to confirm or disprove this information.

 For now, we can be satisfied with virtual reality glasses of competence, the Samsung Gear VR. This device not only allows the user to play games, but it can also be used to watch movies as if you were inside the screen. Within the structure of the display, various sensors have been incorporated and all these characteristics to achieve sensations transmitted.

 The glasses have a lower latency of 20 microsecond’s movement. This means that the reaction time and the images are moved, they are almost on par with the player. In short, if Apple finally develops the terminal, will face a big rival .
