Amazon is creating a new virtual reality platform, a job posting on employer evaluation site GlassDoor has indicated. The posting, spotted by UploadVR, calls for a senior software development manager for a new virtual reality team. The posting doesn’t specify exactly what the successful candidate will be working on, but they will be responsible for “building the Virtual Reality experience within Amazon Video.”
So the vaunted Lab 126 is a bit short on talent, eh?
When Bezos attacks a market, he goes for the kill.
Despite my opinion of them being crap, Amazon’s latest crop of Fire tablets single-handedly killed the prospects for all Chinese tablet brands — Teclast, Chuwi, et al — to enter the American market. That is the kind of foresight Bezos has.
(Yes, it didn’t work out with the Fire phone, but let’s skip that, OK? And it could be argued his idea of 3D in a phone was correct in principle, now that we’re here talking about VR needing to be 3D.)
