Bavor to head Google’s new VR section

ALPHABET Inc’s Google has created a virtual reality computing division and said Clay Bavor, the executive running its product management team, will run the new arm.

A spokesman for Google, Joshua Cruz, confirmed Bavor’s new role on the team, but declined to provide any further details.

According to Bavor’s Twitter profile, he is the vice president of Virtual Reality at Google.

As vice president of product management, Bavor oversaw some of Google’s key apps, including Gmail, Google Drive and Google Docs, his LinkedIn profile showed.

Technology news website Re/code said his earlier role will now be taken over by Senior Vice President Diane Greene.

Google has been flirting with VR but never quite fully dived into it until now.

In May, the company announced a partnership with action-camera maker GoPro to enable 360-degree view in VR, using a new technology that Google had developed.
