Apple Vision Pro Engineer Lured to Midjourney as Lead to Helm Secret Hardware Project

Midjourney, the highly anticipated AI company, has recently been revealed to be secretly developing a new hardware product. It is reported that they have successfully poached Ahmad Abbas, who previously served as a hardware engineering manager at Apple's Vision Pro and Musk's Neuralink, to assist in the creation of this innovative product.

It is worth mentioning that Abbas has a deep connection with Midjourney's founder, David Holz. The two have worked together for many years at Leap Motion, founded by Holz, and have accumulated rich experience in hardware development. Now, this duo is joining forces once again, leaving people excited about what surprises they will bring.

According to sources, Midjourney's new hardware product will focus on collecting and processing 3D data, providing strong support for 3D model management. Some netizens speculate that Midjourney may also release its own VR headset in the future, further expanding into the metaverse field.

In regards to this mysterious new product, Midjourney's founder Holz previously revealed in a message in January of this year that they will create a device called the "Midjourney Orb." Although we currently know very little about the specific details of this hardware, it is foreseeable that it will play a significant role in creating AI-generated 3D worlds and real-time generated video games.

Holz has stated that Midjourney's goal is to achieve 60 frames per second for the generation of stereoscopic 3D worlds, turning image models into a "high-speed game engine." He also predicts that within the next decade, there will be a game console on the market with a built-in AI processor capable of creating game content in real-time. Now, with the development of Midjourney's new hardware product, this vision seems to be gradually becoming a reality.
