2022-11-13 22:30:00 Apple is building a rival to the metaverse

Apple is looking for a software producer to create VR content. Further, it wants to build a video service for playing back 3D content in VR. Another posting points to Apple’s AR headset taking advantage of App Intents to work with Siri, Shortcuts, and Search. Interestingly, one job posting talks about creating a 3D mixed-reality world. The latest Power On newsletter highlights the position’s requirements to “build tools and frameworks to enable connected experiences in a 3D mixed-reality world.”. In early January 2022, a report claimed that Apple was not interested in building a complete virtual world for its AR headset. So, while the company might build a 3D mixed-reality world, its approach could be different from that of the metaverse.
