Company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), is constantly developing new technologies to be able to compete more effectively in the world of technology, and last year we learned that it is developing a virtual reality system for games and controlling designed interfaces. A job listing recently published by the American company suggests that the development project is not only limited to software, but also to hardware. Specifically, Apple looking for engineers specialized in the development of virtual reality systems, they should have extensive knowledge about systems that can design a virtual interface and allow its control with gestures.
- Specify and test novel display systems for virtual environments.
- Work with vendors to develop custom display solutions.
- Design and select appropriate hardware and software components to optimize fidelity in a variety of VR environments
- Develop software to support displaying rendered image sequences on the display hardware.
- Work closely with software, electrical and mechanical engineers during testing and integration.
These engineers will supervise the product development procedures that will allow the design of virtual interfaces using graphic components, being responsible for the entire design and production process. Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), already owns a company that developed the technology used in the first version of the Kinect sensor, so it has people specialized in systems that allow controlling an interface using simple gestures. Developing everything from controlling an interface from a screen to a designed one requires people who specialize in image design, and if you find the right people, you will bring great products to market in the future.
Considering that Apple develops a multitude of technologies and few of them reach the market, no one knows what chances of success this project developed in Cupertino will have.
