Google was one of the first manufacturers to launch a virtual reality headset. Yes, we are talking about the famous Google Cardboards. Then Samsung would launch its own virtual reality glasses, the Gear VR, as well as we are also seeing other manufacturers that will soon launch their alternatives, such as the HTC Vive with the collaboration of Valve or Oculus with their already known Oculus Rift.
Virtual reality is increasingly present and little by little we see how manufacturers are encouraged to manufacture devices so that the consumer can enjoy what this technology offers. Google knows this and that is why it is pulling strings to dedicate a division within the Mountain View offices dedicated and thought exclusively for virtual reality.
It all started a couple of days ago, when within Google there were big changes that have not come to light. These changes are the move of Arcilla Bavor, former vice president of product management such as GMail, Google Drive, Google Docs, among other products made in Google. Now, however, Bavor will devote his time to virtual reality.
Google also relies on Virtual Reality
Another of the managerial movements at Google is Diane Greene who came to the search engine after being CEO of VMWare. This person will also accompany Bavor to this new virtual reality division. With just two moves, the guys from Mountain View have shown that they have important things and trust virtual reality so they prefer that there is a division that is completely dedicated to virtual reality.
We'll see what really happens with virtual reality and Google Cardboard. We will see if the boys of San Francisco bring out their own virtual reality glasses an operating system designed for it or if they will simply continue as before. The Internet search giant already has a history of creating new products designed for glasses, such as Google Glass, so it would not be unreasonable to think that they would launch a product derived from the famous smart glasses designed exclusively for reality. virtual.
For the moment we will have to settle for Google Cardboard, but the creation of this new division in the search engine's offices means that the future of virtual reality will generate expectation from the press and fans of everything that Google moves. We will see if during the next Google I/O 2016 in May they announce something about it.
