I'm sorry, but how were they a leader? I mean, were they ever a leader in anything other than having the biggest #SocialNetwork at some point?

Yeah they did #VR stuff, with #HorizonWorlds, but Horizon never really took off, and I'm not really sure that the #Occulus counts when it's an aquihire and #JohnCarmack left after they wouldn't let him keep expanding. Same with #AI, they did some stuff, but I don't remember it ever being like, the "big thing in AI".

I'm pretty sure #Zuckerburg got richer than his parents off of this #SocialNetworking thing, realized that having a bunch of users doesn't actually pay a bunch of money, and is now struggling to figure out how to turn those financed assets into profits.

Card 077: Occulus

We all remember classic FF baddie, Occulus, right? The man with a gemstone for an eye?

#TradingCardADay #MU4 #FantasticFour #MikeManley #Occulus

so a friend gave me an occulus rift for a while

I somehow can't figure out what comes between "plug in all the cables" and "can play games with it"

#steamvr #occulus

The Quist:
Knockoff Occulus Quest, 4k 120Hz, 190 Degrees FoV

(Except it's a Knockoff, so it's 480p 60hz, 75 Fov, and it's a pair of tiny CRT's that are slightly misaligned)

EDIT: It's Lone Echo. Fucking knew if I posted a question google would answer me instantly. Check this out it still looks fucking amazing. https://youtu.be/i4NoRXKYtPA?si=ouFrnMbJFmovqeiI

Hey folks, I finally got around to exploring the quest store and there was one game from YEARS ago that I really wanted to play - unfortunately I don't remember the name.

It's scifi, set in a space station iirc. Its zero gravity so you need to float around and later in the game discover some alien growths. I wonder if it's just too old and not compatible with newer headsets. More exploration and maybe puzzle solving. Any ideas?

@annika @andybaio this brought me down a bizarre rabbit hole. I was looking through https://readjpeg.com and came across a cool image and it was from #Anduril who I had just seen mentioned in the community letter about @nixos_org (https://save-nix-together.org) so I went to go check them out and watched this bizarre video called "Autonomy for Every Mission" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhkEQA-Idfc and now I am watching a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UI4l-o4AcHs about how the company was started by the ousted #Occulus founder.

Great article! My only recent experience with #VirtualReality was a 30 second trip in my nephew's #Occulus (30 seaonds was long enough). The graphics quality and general feel of the place made me #nostalgic for the Virtual Reality Experience at the #MallOfAmerica back when that place was still new and exciting (late 1980s).

Also TIL: #Occulus founder Palmer Luckey apparently funds right-wing propaganda groups and founded a surveillance company that has its tech used against illegal immigrants at the US-Mexican border and got venture capital from none other than #Palantir founder Peter Thiel.

The guy "only" has a net worth of $730 million, but he still goes on *the list*! >:(
