Wow.

Yeah, i remember seeing that headset design at the link. Its for Virtual Reality. I saw this all months ago. Didnt the idea of VR fade after the 90's? (Strange Days,Lawnmower Man movies).

Apparently FB figure there's still money to be made with the $2 billion investment. Unfortunately they made this pederast their lead developer.

VR is here to stay this time. It’s killer app will be 3d porn and cheap training simulators. It’s not there yet(resolution is too low), but another 5 years and people will be using it as a virtual PC monitor where you can have as much space to as needed to to work on a project.

It says he was already the lead developer when they bought the company. Its typical to keep engineering teams in tact on tech acquisitions. Companies compete to recruit engineers, and engineers that know the tech already are invaluable to the projects.

Btw, I've noticed anecdotally that there is an unusually high number of very attractive women working as recruiters. There are certainly good recruiters who are guys or more ordinary looking women, but it seems to me about half of the recruiters are women who are way better than average looking. And female engineers are rare, seems to me there are maybe 1 in 10...this may give a bit of hint as to the culture...

It faded because the technology couldn’t keep up with the vision. Now, the tech can produce the VR that everyone dreamed of in the 90s. It is quite amazing now.
