Last year, there was a

 boom in physical activity trackers and started crazy shaped on the basis of smart watches, which also turn into a boom, but in the current year. In addition to these can be a significant year for such devices as virtual reality helmet. With easy filing Oculus VR this topic alive again after a long break since the beginning of the 2000s. Now in this area are bursting all and sundry, including Samsung, Sony, Valve, and now Apple has joined the merry company.

So, the other day among the available vacancies in Apple initially appeared position of Senior Display Software Engineer, which is described as an expert in the field of software development for virtual reality systems.

It also includes the creation of software for synchronization and calibration of displays and effective transfer of content to the screens.

Overjoyed, now immersive virtual, as described in science fiction books, newly awakened thirst to play with and heavily bezvylazno, feel more and more new toys. Say, Elite: Dangerous in the Oculus Rift really takes you into the world of the future, at the spaceship and you disappear from our reality. Well, now I can easily believe it and will likely become one of the first buyers of commercial patterns helmet from Oculus VR.
