There were simliar VR headsets on the market in the 90s, i even remember one being on the show 3rd Rock From The Sun around 99/2000. Coming from Vice it's surely a BS story, HOWEVER, it may be them telling us something without directly telling us... [/quote] There were headsets that killed people when they died in the game? What game? Or are just trying to say VR headsets existed because i thought most people knew that. But, maybe not. Or are you trying to say there was a storyline similar to SAO on 3rd Rock back in the day? Yes, the guy's name in the Vice story sounds fake. But, what is the purpose of a fake story like this at this time? I can tell you for some reason, i saw a lot of VR ads yesterday for some reason. So, i guess headsets (that just play games are going to be a Christmas item thus year). Personally, zero desire to play VR, so i am not searching it. [/quote] obviously i'm talking about the oculus not this shit they're on about now. [/quote] The Oculus was started in 2012. But, yeah, there were crappy VR sets in the 90s, i guess. [/quote]
Original Message
The world took one more step in a strange and bothersome direction.
‘
Palmer Luckey, defense contractor and the father of modern virtual reality, has created a VR headset that will kill the user if they die in the game they’re playing. He did this to commemorate the anime, Sword Art Online. Luckey is the founder of Oculus, a company he sold to Facebook in 2014 for $2 billion. This is the technology that Mark Zuckerberg rebranded as the foundation for Meta.

Anyone catch the part about all the ties to defense contractors?
