Welcome to Apple Computer's Advanced Technology Group!
ATG's Mission
To oversee the development of concept products and core technologies to be incorporated into future Apple products.
ATG's Vision
To enhance people's lives by developing systems that provide a rich environment for work and play, learning and business. The emphases are on social interaction and access to knowledge through systems of hardware, software, networks, services and content. Our work is customer-centered, aimed at developing simple, smart, system-oriented, cohesive designs. We develop the technologies for the next generation of products that are sensitive to the special needs and capabilities of our customers who live in a rich variety of cultures around the world.
ATG's goal is to create a working environment that is:
- Creative
- Exciting
- Intellectually deep, challenging, and stimulating
- Relevant to Apple - pushing the product boundaries
We live the future, the better to invent it. We do this through rapid prototyping, deployment, and evaluation of systems to ourselves and target customers. Above all, we intend to create systems that:
- Are multicultural
- Are information-rich
- Span the range of devices from minimum to maximum - from the least expensive to the most imaginative
- Establish a new economic model for business
- Are engaging, seductive, addictive, fun.
Technologies
Cocoa
Cocoa is an environment that enables children to create their own simulations and publish them on the World Wide Web.
ProjectX
Project X is a demonstration of new navigation technology innovation from Apple Research Laboratories. Using Project X, you can fly through 3D representations of websites and/or desktop files.
V-Twin
V-Twin is an information access toolkit that provides full-text indexing and search to applications that use it. V-Twin is currently being used in Cyberdog, and Mac OS 8 will use V-Twin to support Find-by-Content.
Success Stories
Many ARL technologies have become products that many of you use today. A few of the names you may recognize are listed here.
