Dabei trifft er allerdings auch auf Widerstand aus der Truppe. Für Palmer Luckey hat sich in gewisser Weise der Kreis geschlossen. Seine ersten Erfahrungen mit Virtual-Reality-Headsets machte er als jugendlicher Labortechniker in einem Forschungszentrum des Verteidigungsministeriums in Südkalifornien, wo […]

when you read about the bitchy world of #SiliconValley #VC’s verses #startup #founders, [1] follow up on #OculusVR [0] and stumble on an Australian submersible #drone program [2], that I haven’t heard about before…

Palmer Luckey Made a VR Headset That Kills the User If They Die in the Game:

I actually cried reading this.

Billionaire Palmer Luckey created the Oculus VR headset. Now he owns Anduril, which sells unmanned weapon and surveillance systems to US and allies.

As an “art project”, he created a VR headset that kills its user if their avatar dies, via 3 explosive charges aimed at the forebrain.

Of course, he is a Vance supporter.

Haven't watched this in full yet but the "race to the bottom" type comments about how you need to make a device that people actually want I heard about from @davemark here on Mastodon.

#PalmerLuckey said that before too, in the context of the Oculus Quest that time IIRC. He's not entirely wrong in that we do need the high end devices that offer the best experience possible to drive things forward. Personally I just think we can and should have the low-end too.
