Two witnesses also executed the agreement on behalf of Luckey at Luckey’s direction: Tom Allan and Jeff Bacon.

Palmer Luckey and John Carmack are doing for VR what Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak did for PCs.

The guy who cut off Palmer Luckey is Nate Mitchell, Oculus's VP of Product, and is one of the cofounders.

We know Palmer Luckey created Oculus and that his work attracted John Carmack, which led to the VR revolution that exists today.

Maybe someone else will pick up the torch where Palmer Luckey dropped it, but it seems like the window of opportunity has closed.

Reading that is pretty damning if and only if the prototype that Luckey developed for TRT was very similar to the Oculus Rift prototype.

Palmer Luckey and John Carmack should be in undisputed control of Oculus.

From their talks and interviews, I've gathered that both John Carmack and Palmer Luckey have always been in favor of standing experiences.

Later in the same stream Palmer Luckey (founder of Oculus) was cut off even more rudely when he tried to allow one more question before a break.

>hen, after being warned by Carmack not to do it, Luckey creates a Kickstarter that prominently features id games.

Around the same time, ZeniMax also sent cables and customized sensors to Luckey and disclosed – pursuant to the Non-Disclosure Agreement – additional hardware design improvements regarding optics calibration and sensor mounting.

Jobs believed in personal computers, Gates believed in software, Musk believed in making humans multi-planetary, Zuck believed in social networking, Page believed in web search, Luckey believed in VR.

None of this appears in Luckey's myth story on wikipedia...if true, it sounds like Luckey acted in "bad faith."

The oculus rift guys seem to think, even a little higher: "“If we want the “perfect” Oculus Rift, with 180 degrees FOV and an APD of 45, we’ll need a screen with a resolution of 8000 x 4500″ This matches up very well with Luckey’s comment of 8K per eye.

Throughout its history, the best innovations in gaming have come from such people, the most recent being Palmer Luckey.

Luckey combined it with the head angle tracking and a vastly polished design for the unit, though.

Luckey used ZeniMax’s VR Technology that he acquired through the FTP site and otherwise to create and promote the modified Rift headset.
