Carmack is now the CTO of Oculus

[Jeff Sylvan]

When we were kids, the breakthroughs that Carmack came up with made our jaws drop - wolfenstein, doom, quake, etc. As technology reached - and passed - the uncanny valley, this feeling of wonder died down a bit as breakthroughs felt a bit more linear (as gamers). 

Now, in a world where so much is taken for granted, the Rift is one of the few things that really gives a sense of "this is amazing, I wonder what the future holds!" It should come as that big a surprise that the father of innovation just took the role of CTO at Oculus.

This opens up a new future for our industry and I find it very exciting, so I figured I'd share the good news.

Jeff,

Are you one of the organizers of the Boston Festival of Indy Games? In one of the promotional pictures it had someone who looked like you.

Regards, 

Kevin

Kevin,

I am not - I'm just a backer of their Kickstarter (though art from Alteil: Horizons shown in the art gallery). Do you have a link?
