A new report indicates that $Apple (AAPL.US)$ has hired away a key employee from $Meta Platforms (FB.US)$ ahead of the anticipated release of an Augmented Reality (AR) headset by the iPhone maker.
What Happened: In his latest “Power On” newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says sources have told him Apple has hired Andrea Schubert, head of communications and public relations for Meta’s augmented reality initiative.
In recent reports, Bloomberg has indicated Apple’s AR headset will be able to show text, emails, maps, and games through holographic displays built into the lens.
Gurman previously indicated that Apple is developing both the AR glasses and a more substantial AR/VR headset.
Earlier this month, there were additional indications the tech giant is in the process of building its AR/VR team and looking for qualified candidates. A job posting by Hayden Lee, Apple's AR/VR Software Engineering Manager, indicated that Apple is hiring AR/VR framework engineers with a focus on multi-user systems.
