Apple needs more people to help with its virtual reality projects

Virtual reality is a rapidly growing field nowadays and Apple wants a piece of the action. While previous reports have unveiled the company’s plans for virtual reality software, some new job listings suggest that Apple wants to get into the hardware side of things as well. Apple is currently looking for experts to help it build “extremely high fidelity VR environments.”

We discovered late last year that Apple was hiring software engineers with experience in virtual reality gaming and user interfaces, but new job listings this week point to Apple’s interest in the development of hardware for virtual reality. Apple is seeking a Senior Display Systems Engineer for “display systems design and development related to VR environments.” More specifically, Apple is looking for someone experienced in monitor and projection technologies to help it with “extremely high fidelity VR environments.” A second job listing posted by Apple this week is seeking a Senior Display Software Engineer to support graphics software engineering efforts for VR environments. The engineer will “own the display pipeline from rendered image sequences to display hardware.”
