He worked for evans and sutherland, (ivan sutherland fame) Nolan Bushnell - atari - is on his board for his DNA association. He consults with chuck e cheese and Dave and Busters and Sega and many others today.mtbs3d.com I mention him here as a great influence to me - I am martinlandau (and you will see I hint at MSFT Hololens tech coming before it was publicly announced, I was living in Seattle near McChord AFB) U can see a picture of him on the cover of EDGE magazine (before palmer luckey was even in diapers) and there is a movie there that was the spiritual godfather of the matrix. World on a Wire, 1973 german film. What is REAL Neo? :)giant.gfycat.com (here is palmer luckey on the VR Hype train - that thread up above is where I teach palmer about leep vr, give him his business idea, tell him to build a kit and sell it, and offer him funding, and there is much drama after this initial contact still going on today)reddit.com Here is Kevin at Reddit. He worked personally with last lecture professor Randy Pausch at Disney. Randy was a VR pioneer.youtube.com (here he is at augmented world expo)youtube.com (here is david smith of Lockheed Martin at the same place, David developed the first 3d graphics engines, a game - The Colony was used by Pentagon to train cyber warriors, he Also worked with cameron on the Abyss, david now with www.wearality.com, another good friend and partner, he is friends with Mark Bolas - google navy blueshark VR)youtube.com (Here is Dhan from Sulon Cortex - a good friend)youtube.com (Dr. Jerald, another good friend) virtualrealityreviewer.com you could only choose one game from your childhood to be remade for VR what would it be ? Ultima IV really messed me up because one of the values that game taught was humility LOL. For the longest time I thought being proud of your accomplishments was a sin. Perhaps a VR game teaching me the virtues of Pride could rehabilitate me LOL!youtube.com (Manuel another good friend, am on advisory board of his company with Kevin, Immersion - Vrelia - he funded the lab at USC where Palmer Luckey went to work, good friends with Mark Bolas of that lab, he also has patents going for 3d Blu Ray tech involving Sony, his TDvisor was first in many things) Kevin and I have had many discussions on this EXPERT/Specialist Idea you have just brought up. How companies today should spend for experience, and wisdom, but they all think they can short circuit the system. I think I have some good history in this sector. A lot of knowledge, not that it makes me special, but how do I convince others on first meeting them, lets talk SHOP, lets exchange ideas? How would Kevin best do that? Lets INVENT THE FUTURE together as david smith would certainly say? While remaining Ultima 4 Humble like Dr. Jerald says matters? I have found online and even in person at many events (I was at a national defense university event at the icollege for a federal consortium of virtual worlds conference where I first met David) and its hard not to get lost in the crowd and be easily dismissed. They only want to take time to talk to people they think are "important" or "special" and don't have time for a fat old IBM computer geek I guess. I try to remain humble in a lot of ways in person, always try to be very gracious and considerate of others (even though I know online I don't come across that way) but it seems its hard to convince other people and companies lets take time and talk, we can help each other, and I spend a lot of time trying to think how to combat this issue. More importantly though, sctech.org I want to go to my uncle butch, and Wilson who sits on the US Armed services committee and figure out who congress should PAY for VR futures? Who should they listen to and why, what community feedback they should get and from where? How much should they pay? Should they pay anything? What VR/AR software, hardware, consultants, companies, education initiatives, military initiaves, business, science etc should they put the people's money too? I would appreciate any ideas or feedback anyone has here. The chinese reddit for VR for Jay. translate.google.com
