Roy Taylor works as corporate vice president of alliances at Advanced Micro Devices, a chip maker that creates processors and graphics chips for personal computers. But he cares just as much about software as he does about hardware.
That’s because new virtual reality applications will fuel demand for graphics hardware, such as AMD’s new family of Radeon graphics processing units (GPUs). So Taylor has been busy creating alliances with Hollywood entertainment companies, VR startups, and game companies. He sees VR as the dawn of a new entertainment medium.
AMD has opened an office in Hollywood, and it is supporting efforts to improve content creation for VR entertainment. And Taylor said he is looking forward to eye-popping imagery of 4K resolution per eye in future VR technologies — far better than the 1080p resolution per eye in today’s VR headsets.
