Mark Rober, who has almost 3.4 million subscribers to YouTube for his scientific experiments, appears as the inventor in an Apple patent. His contribution: A VR display system for entertaining passengers in self-propelled cars. Since 2015, Rober is said to have advised Apple engineers on the secret car project.
The direction in which the Apple Car project is developing is not clear. However, from time to time details come to light. For the sixth time, it is a fleet of self-propelled vehicles that Apple employees will have to commute between the company’s sites in Silicon Valley. Then the iPhone should be able to be used as a car key in the future and now the report at Variety is about Mark Rober. The tinkerer known through his YouTube channel is called the inventor.
In the US patent specification, an immersive virtual display is a system of screens. The patent description states that this VR screen system is designed to prevent nausea in the car known as motion sickness. Real and virtual elements are to be shown simultaneously to allow the passenger a pleasant journey in a moving vehicle.
At the same time, however, a VR headset can also be seen in the graphics of the patent specification. This could be a medium sensation because it confirms that Apple is working on a VR headset. The patent was filed in September 2017, granted and published in March. But only now can Variety connect to Apple.
