Amazon joins the list of companies that want to build a virtual future. The e-commerce giant has accelerated its work for the AR / VR product, which has not yet been officially introduced. Many people think that Amazon will rival the metaverse world of Meta with this product.

Amazon joins the metaverse with its AR/VR product
Among the roles Amazon is looking to recruit for its AR/VR product; There is a wide variety of senior positions such as computer engineers, designers, program and product managers, researchers. This supports the company’s claims that it will create a metaverse with a solid team.
It is not yet clear how the Amazon glasses will come with a design or whether they will be part of the artificial intelligence-supported Echo smart assistant series. But it has the potential to cause big trouble for Mark Zuckerberg, who connects his company’s future to the metaverse.
As you know, Meta, or Facebook with its old name, is one of the companies that make the biggest investment in the metaverse world. The company, which sold the VR company Oculus in 2014, calls its new VR glasses Meta Quest and has allocated an $8 billion budget to metaverse projects.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he believes future people will spend most of their lives in this virtual world. In his interview, he stated that the metaverse is not a place, it is “the primary priority we will spend life and time on”.
According to a new report in Protocol, Amazon is looking for new staff to work on its yet unannounced augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) product. Amazon is also seeking scientists, designers and researchers to work on its augmented reality (XR) product.
Amazon has a smart glasses called Echo Frames, but this glasses does not have any AR / VR support. However, the company applied for some patents for entertainment eyeglasses almost a decade ago, and it is unclear what can be done with these patents.
