Is Apple working on a rival to the Oculus Rift and Playstation VR?
According to MacRumors.com, the tech giant has assembled a veritable super team of virtual reality and augmented reality researchers to design VR headsets and various other applications.
The report even suggests that prototypes of the hypothetical Apple VR headset have been made in the past few months and that its inspired by the Oculus Rift.
Evidence of such a project has been mounting for months with Apple acquiring a number of high-tech start-ups like mo-cap firm Faceshift, which worked on The Force Awakens, and Emotient, which developed AI that can read emotions in facial expressions.
More recently, Apple brought on VR guru Doug A. Bowman, the former director of Virginia Tech's Centre For Human-Computer Interaction and a principal investigator at the 3D Interaction Group, further fueling the rumor mill.
