Apple on AR / VR -- augmented reality is the larger of the two, probably by far,
Apple’s interest in Augmented Reality heats up with two new hires

Apple hasn’t exactly been shy about expressing its interest in augmented reality. During an interview earlier this week, Apple CEO Tim Cook plainly stated that he sees a lot more promise in augmented reality than in virtual reality.
“There’s virtual reality and there’s augmented reality,” Cook said while appearing onGood Morning America. “Both of these are incredibly interesting. My own view is that augmented reality is the larger of the two, probably by far, because this gives the capability for both of us to sit and be very present talking to each other, but also have other things visually for both of us to see.”
“Maybe it’s something we’re talking about,” Cook added, “maybe it’s someone else here that is not here, present, but could be made to appear to be present with us. So there’s a lot of really cool things there.”
In light of Cook’s intriguing remarks regarding Augmented Reality, Business Insiderrecently discovered that Apple has been making some interesting hires as of late. According to the report, Apple in recent months hired Zeyu Li, a vision algorithm engineer from Augmented Reality-focused startup Magic Leap.
Additionally, Apple recently brought Yury Petrov on board as a research scientist. With a strong background in both Physics and Mathematics, Petrov previously spent two and a half years working as a research scientist for Occulus VR. Notably, Petrov’s LinkedIn profile reads, “I am a specialist in experimental psychology, human vision, optics for head-mounted displays, brain imaging, and mathematical methods of signal processing and analysis.”
Speaking to Apple’s growing interest in AR, a Financial Times report from this past January relayed that Apple has been quietly assembling a sizable and impressive team of engineers and researchers with deep experience in both virtual and augmented reality.
The secret research unit includes hundreds of staff from a series of carefully targeted acquisitions, as well as employees poached from companies that are working on next-generation headset technologies including Microsoft and camera start-up Lytro, according to people familiar with the initiative.The company’s latest acquisition in the area is Flyby Media, an augmented reality start-up that uses let mobile devices “see” the world around them. Fly-by’s team worked closely with Google in developing software for its 3D positioning technology Project Tango.
As a final point, it’s worth pointing out that Apple in early 2016 hired Doug Bowman, largely considered to be one of the foremost Virtual Reality experts in the world.

Jun Lou AR Assignment 1
The first and last time I went to China, I went to hang out with my cousin at his apartment. Everyday we would go across the street and go to the arcade. It was my first time going to the arcade so I was really happy as a 7 year old. The closest route to the arcade was through a small alley to the side of the apartment. One day when I was running towards that alley, I got hit by a motorcyclist. I didn't really care, I just wanted to get to the arcade.

EPIC -- Chinese President Points To VR As Helping Establish ‘Innovative World Economy’
Chinese President Points To VR As Helping Establish ‘Innovative World Economy’
VR is going to be big for China, and the country’s top leader knows it.
The annual B20 (Business 20) summit, which gathers leaders of businesses from countries in the G20 (Group of 20) convention got underway this weekend in Hangzhou, capital of East China’s Zhejiang Province. Opening the summit with a keynote speech was President Xi Jinping. In a 50-minute address, he spoke of China’s need to establish an innovative world economy. That process, according to the president, will be aided by the growth of new technologies such as VR.
“First, we need to build an innovative world economy to generate new drivers of growth. Innovation holds the key to fundamentally unleashing the growth potential. The new round of scientific and industrial revolution with Internet at its core is gathering momentum, and new technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality are developing by leaps and bounds,” he said. “The combination of the virtual economy and the real economy will bring revolutionary changes to our way of work and way of life.”
It was little more than a name drop, but the very mention of VR in a world leader’s speech shows you just how big the arrival of the tech is. This isn’t just a new toy for gamers, its the start of an entirely new industry that will help boost others. China itself is becoming a huge focus for VR at companies like HTC, which bases some of its investorand accelerator operations in Beijing. Sony is also leveraging Chinese developers to boost its PlayStation VR platform with more content.
If that wasn’t enough, South Korean President Park Geun-hye also mentioned both VR and augmented reality (AR) during her address at G20 itself on Sunday. According to Yonhap News Agency, the president said that “Innovation in the fields of virtual and augmented reality, the Internet of Things, big data, as well as artificial intelligence is leading the fourth industrial revolution, and the origins of such changes are people’s creative thinking and imaginative power.”
According to the president, these types of innovations are “the crux of South Korea’s creative economy”.
U.S. President Barack Obama watches a virtual reality film captured during his trip to Yosemite National Park earlier this year.
It’s great to see both VR and AR getting serious recognition from world leaders, especially in markets in which the tech is likely going to thrive. It still has a long way to go to really prove itself, however, and watching how it evolves to aid economies like those in China and South Korea is going to be fascinating.
The U.S., meanwhile, has put its president actually into VR recently, with a 360 degree video that celebrates the 100th anniversary of the company’s national parks. It’s not quite the same as addressing the tech at a gathering of world leaders, but it’s still pretty cool.
