A brilliant mind gone too soon

maybe its a coincidence but the oculus founder was also killed in a car accident if im correct

That's terrible.

Geez, that is sad.

Just shows how quick and easy things can just happen.

What happens to his Hololens program? Will it be difficult for MS to pick up since he was the (I'm assuming) lead designer for the project?

I don't think you are correct. Unless you mean, selling out to facebook he is dead to us in our eyes?

Weird the wiki doesn't mention him at all and only has Palmer Luckey as the founder.

Ye this isn't cool. I really believe there will be a greater success in AR than VR.

I'm doing a presentation on HoloLens and other augmented reality tonight. This is terrible.

That's cool, you thinking of designing one yourself?

Nope - University assignment. This was the topic we got.
