The year has passed, and the rushing wind has begun to rise again. First, Hugo Barra, former vice president of Xiaomi, jumped to Facebook to take charge of VR business. Today, HTC's chief designer, Claude Zellweger, is transitioning from PCVR to mobile VR.
Zellweger was also responsible for the design of HTC smartphones and ViveVR head-ups. He today announced at the San Francisco office that he will leave Taiwan HTC to join Google and be responsible for Daydrem business.
Today he released a new tweet saying, "We have joined GoogleDaydream now, and criticisms are not sent to me."
HTC also confirmed to the media that Zellweger had left the company and HTC stated in the statement: “We confirm that Claude Zellweger has left the company. We are grateful for his great contribution to HTC and hope that everything will be good in the future. HTC will continue to add Big investment in talent to ensure the company's overall competitiveness and cohesion."
Zellweger spent 5 years at HTC and was promoted to chief designer in 2014. He is also responsible for Vive's brand strategy. The departure of the chief designer of HTC seems to have become a "conventional": After HTC acquired the American design company One & Co, Scott Croyle and Jonah Becker among the three main members have long since left, leaving Claude Zellweger alone to support it.
Zellweger's departure is a bad news for HTCVive because Zellweger's focus in previous years has shifted to HTCVive. Before the Vive helmet entered the consumer market, Zellweger participated in the design research and several iterations of the product. Now that he has joined Google, past experience will surely help him design DaydreamView. At the same time, he is also very familiar with mobile hardware and may help accelerate the development of the Daydream platform.
From a professional point of view, Daydream has indeed made a right choice, especially for Google's head-ups who are often tempted.
Xiao Bian can only say: Your circle is too chaotic. But no matter who jumps, as long as it brings players the best VR device and awesome VR experience, then as a player, it will be supported and understood. Only HTC should be ready to deal with this sudden change!
