Apple Seeking Mac OS X Visual Interface Designer?
Monster.com is advertising a job for Apple Computer with the Mac OS X User Interface Group.
They are seeking a senior visual interface designer "to conceive, design and develop future enhancements to Aqua, the dynamic user interface for Mac OS X". The interested should candidate should have the following experience:
- B.S./M.S. in Interactive Media Design, Animation or related field.
- Demonstrable understanding of user interface design principles.
- Must have demonstrated experience with prototyping tools and environments such as Director and Lingo.
- Experience with other tools such as 3D Modeling applications is an asset.
While this job opportunity may simply represent the filling of a vacated spot, however, with Window's upcoming Vista release borrowing heavily from the Mac OS X user interface, Apple will need to continue to extend and improve future versions of Mac OS X.
The first look at Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is expected to be previewed at WWDC 2006 this summer.

Heh. Well, Apple has gotta do something to differentiate it a bit more from Vista. A new designer for the OS helps. C'mon, Apple, make Vista look so...2005.

Does anyone else find the '3D modelling' thing to be curious? 3D desktop, anybody?

I was finishing off reading the linked article on Tiger vs. Vista and the missing features from Tiger that Vista will have, along with the features Vista will improve on from Tiger. I see quite a few of these being improved in time for Leopard and then added upon with "eye-candy" and new features that will amek Vista look quite old in its concept.
Then another 5 years of Vista looking old and OS X continuing to be updated every 18-24 months and Microsoft will have to admit they can't keep up.

I'm wondering if the "3D Modelling" thing is an indication of how Apple are planning to get interface widgets to work in a resolution-independant environment. If they build the widgets as 3D models, they can be rendered into bitmaps at any resolution.

Mike Matas was recently hired into a similar role so it looks like they are definitely focusing on Mac OS X with the aim of keeping that interface edge.

I honestly didn't see the potential of tablets until i saw that multi-touch whatever video thats been floating about the web, supposedly running on OSX. IF Apple could produce something like that, it could totally give a kick start to the less-than-stellar sales of tablets, possibly gaining more of an edge with the pro/business end of the computing landscape. :)

Do you have a URL of that video? It wouldn't happen to be the 'Knowledge Navigator' video from 1987?
