Read our privacy policy Apple has hired one of the US’s top virtual reality researchers, probably signalling that it is looking to move into the industry. Releasing a headset would bring Apple into line with other major tech companies, almost all of which have shown off virtual reality equipment. Mr Bowman’s LinkedIn profile describes his work as being on “three-dimensional user interface design and the benefits of immersion in virtual environments,” according to the Financial Times, which first reported the news. That includes both fully immersive headsets, like those made by Facebook’s Oculus, as well as augmented reality like the Microsoft Hololens, which imposes images onto the actual environment.
