The latest job offers from the Apple giant are interesting to say the least. Although often reluctant to use the term metaverse, the tech company seems to be working on it. With the imminent arrival of its VR headset, Apple may have its own metaverse platform. The recruitment of “video” engineers with 3D capabilities seems to be reflected in this project. Apple’s mixed reality embodiment could directly compete with the metaverse experience offered by Meta’s Horizon Worlds.
The company is hiring for mixed reality projects
The company’s recent job offers confirm a project in the metaverse universe. In fact, on November 13, Apple posted a series of job postings that indicated its intention to jump into the technological metaverse. He is about to finish his VR helmet, which has multiple cameras, an HD screen and an M2 chip.
Apple is currently looking for qualified people in the field of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Among other things, the company is clearly looking for engineers who have experience developing a 3D mixed reality world. This could mean that it is already working on its own platform which is an iteration of a metaverse platform. It can, therefore, compete directly with Meta’s Horizon Worlds, where users can interact and build their own worlds.
Apple’s management team has openly shown their reluctance to use the term metaverse. It is often associated with various virtual experiences. But according to Tim Cook, this term is ambiguous and has different interpretations. He revealed in an interview the company’s reluctance to join the metaverse hype. According to him, it is important to understand what something is. The Apple CEO added that he’s not sure the general public knows what the metaverse is.
Either way, the company may have its own metaverse, beyond any debate over which term to use. The recruited engineers will essentially develop tools and frameworks to “create connected experiences in a 3D mixed reality world. »
