Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock: March 31 news, according to Uploadvr report, Oculus co-founder, virtual reality helmet Rift inventor Palmer Luckey (Palmer Luckey) is about to leave. He sold virtual reality startups to Facebook three years ago and joined the world's largest social network.
Oculus said in the statement: "This will be the last week of Laki as a full Facebook employee. We will miss Laki very much. His achievements are not just about starting Oculus. His innovative spirit helped launch the modern VR revolution and helped build A new industry. We are very grateful for his contribution to Oculus and VR, and wish him all the best!"
When asked if Raki’s resignation was a voluntary act, the Facebook representative declined to comment and said that the policy he pursued was to ban discussions about internal personnel changes. A year ago, Raki had personally delivered the first consumer version of the virtual reality helmet Oculus Rift to a predetermined customer in Alaska. In the past 12 months, the 24-year-old Laki has turned from the most well-known team leader in science and technology to a hermit. It disappeared into the public eye during the 2016 US presidential election and only appeared briefly in court.
The following is a timeline for the departure of the Raki:
September 23, 2016
On the same day, Raki published the first tweet in the past six months. There is no text inside, only one link, directed to his last post on Facebook. The post reads: "I feel very sorry that my actions have had a negative impact on Oculus and its partners. Recent news reports about me do not accurately represent my point of view."
Raki added: "I need to clarify the background: I donated $10,000 to Nimble America because I think the agency has a lot of fresh ideas in communicating with young voters through the use of billboards. I am a liberal, the past Public support for Ron Paul and Gary Johnson, I still plan to vote for Gary in this election. I govern and support the principles of fair competition and equal treatment. I have not written the 'NimbleRichMan' sticker. I haven’t deleted the account. There are reports that I am Nimble America’s employer or founder are fake. I have not continued to fund other Nimble America programs except for the donations already made. However, my behavior is entirely personal, and It doesn't mean Oculus. I am sorry about the impact of my actions on the community."
Raki’s apologizing began with the publication of the Daily Beast Reporter Gideon Resnick and Ben Collins, linking Laki to the far-right political group Nimble America. The use of a provocative online strategy against Hillary Clinton's campaign for the president. Resnick and Collins claimed that Laki donated a large amount of money to Nimble America, and attached a number of unpopular posts, saying that these posts were published under the pseudonym of NimbleRichMan. Nimble America's strategy combined with Hillary's potential opponents led to a lot of criticism from Laki.
The polarization nature of Trump's becoming a presidential candidate, coupled with the erratic political pattern of the United States during the election, has incited representatives of all parties to express their views, causing the spark of anger to become a "forest fire." Two weeks after the introduction of Raki's post, Oculus held the third Oculus Connect (OC3) Developer Conference. Laki was the undisputed protagonist on OC1 and OC2, but on OC3, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg took him to the stage to showcase the company's products to the VR community. service.
Jason Rubin, Oculus's vice president of content, said that the reason why Raki is willing to avoid the conference is mainly because he does not want to distract people's attention, after all, he is still a Facebook employee. These web posts are the latest news about our long-standing Laki. In fact, since September 23 last year, the character who was once seen as a symbol of VR revival has almost completely disappeared into the public eye.
January 18, 2017
On the same day, Raki once again publicly talked about the company he founded. Unfortunately, these comments were made at the Dallas City Court Witnesses. At that time, both Laki and Zuckerberg appeared as witnesses and defended Oculus’s allegation of stealing intellectual property rights. Software company ZeniMax sued Oculus, claiming that former CariMax employee and current chief technology officer of Oculus, John Carmack, came to the new company with trade secrets, which became the basis for Rift development.
In court, Raki did not wear his signature sandals, replaced the typical Hawaiian beachwear, put on a blue suit, and answered questions, including his relationship with Carmack, whether it violated the early development of Rift. Agreement signed by ZeniMax, etc. On February 1, the jury ruled that Oculus did not have any misappropriation of trade secrets. However, the jury also found that Raki did not comply with the confidentiality agreement he signed.
Oculus and its co-founders, Laki and Breden Iribe, needed to pay ZeniMax $500 million for copyright infringement and "false designaTIon." Facebook has said it will appeal, which means it is likely to delay for several years. In the turmoil, Raki returned to the seclusion life since September.
March 30, 2017
It’s been a year since Laki’s first delivery of the first Rift, and it’s been three years since he and other Oculus shareholders agreed to sell the company. In September 2016, the role of Laki in the company has become uncertain, and the subsequent huge compensation of 500 million US dollars has made his situation worse. Since the "Beast of the Beast" report, there have been rumors that Raki may leave.
In December 2016, we finally confirmed that Raki is still involved in Facebook affairs, and the new news will come soon. Now, the days that many of us are looking forward to have finally arrived! Because by March 31, Laki will no longer play any role in the company he founded.
Laki's legacy
The efforts of Raki and his entrepreneurial partners at Oculus have attracted the interest of many VR fans who like the vision described by Raki and bring tens of thousands of head-mounted display developer kits home. Raki once said: "A lot of the things we are doing are not invented by us. They were invented by others. It is just that we are very fortunate and are in the right time to carry them forward."
These early helmets have changed the careers of countless people. Facebook has spent $2 billion to acquire Oculus, and mainstream investors believe what Rift developers believe: VR is not just a great game technology, but also the beginning of the next phase of personal computing. . After decades of failure and constant experimentation, high-quality, low-cost VR will eventually become a reality. And Laki’s efforts can help drive the process. When Raki mentioned his interest in VR, he said: "It represents the future, like the 'hacker.'"
As the major shareholder of Oculus, Laki can still receive huge rewards from Facebook, and his passion for VR has not disappeared, we are likely to see him start a new journey. Of course, there is still a long way to go to create a more immersive virtual world, and advances in brain-computer interface technology are becoming a huge point of interest, such as Valve Software founder Gabe Newell, who seems to Is becoming the main competitor of Oculus. In other words, the prospects for technological advancement in the VR field are very broad, and the influence of Laki on this industry revolution is far from the limit.
