Hi

According to the Financial Times, a "great team" Apple is working on virtual and augmented reality. They would be built more prototypes of viewers, similar all'Oculus Rift or all'Hololens Microsoft.

Apple would increase its efforts in the field of research dedicated to virtual and augmented reality and a "great team" is working on viewers and other specific technologies. This was stated by the Financial Times highlighting recent hirings and acquisitions that would leave no doubt. Of this alleged "secret unit to search" would be part of hundreds of people, all working in different ways in VR and AR, including people with past experience in Microsoft and Lytro (the company known for its innovative camera Illum, the Light Field Camera can capture the angle, color, light intensity, reproducing images complete and immersive shooting subject, allowing you to change the point of focus and perspective).

Apple has also recently hired Doug Bowman, one of the most influential people in the field of virtual reality. Other clues that would leave no doubt are the acquisitions of reality that they all in some way to deal with the VR / AR Metaio, Faceshift, and Emotient. Apple has also acquired Flyby Media, specializing in technologies for augmented reality and known for having created an app that works in conjunction with "Project Tango" technology consisting of a mix of cameras and sensors for the recovery of the environment enabling then play it all on one screen and make available the functionality of disparate (interior design, visually impaired support, games, etc.).

Apple's team working on virtual and augmented reality, would build more prototypes of viewers, similar to those already seen for Oculus Rift or all'Hololens Microsoft. As always, we reiterate that these are rumors and we do not know if the team did just experiment and whether it is still at work. The business newspaper speaks of a future device that could be used in combination with the alleged Apple Car to which Apple is working, but we can not understand what could be the link between the two products.

What is certain is that Apple has registered several patents in the past with references to virtual reality. Already under the leadership of Steve Jobs, the group had created a small team small team dedicated to the technology and then abandon the idea judging it too premature. To a specific question on the VR during the presentation of financial results for the first quarter, CEO Tim Cook replied that it is a technology "really fantastic, with interesting fields of application."
