Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey has been silent since he publicly announced his support for political campaigns in September 2016. However, this week, he inevitably became the focus because he was caught in the current Oculus-ZeniMax legal struggle.
Yesterday, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg publicly answered public questions, defending his VR subsidiary and opposing allegations of stealing ZeniMax technology while manufacturing Rift. Luckey is 24 years old. Later in the day, he played an important role in the trial. When he worked in the subsidiary's id software department, because of his work with John Carmack, the Oculus CTO was accused of stealing technology from ZeniMax.
In the court, Luckey wore a blue suit and red tie, which was a rare sight on him. He usually wore Hawaiian sports shirts, shorts and slippers. His work at Carmack is the foundation of many questions, and although he just started talking about Facebook's $2 billion acquisition of its Oculus VR company in 2014, he said he might make hundreds of millions of dollars in Oculus in the future. Luckey himself has so far estimated that he has earned $50 million from Oculus.
Luckey turned the conversation to Carmack. He said he sent a helmet to Carmack in 2012. This helmet became the core of the discussion. Regarding what Carmack actually contributed to Rift, Luckey was asked if the developer created Rift's Fisheye Distortion System to create a panoramic image that wraps the user's field of view inside the helmet.
He said: "I think he (Carmack) is doing a 'one' solution, not a (final) solution."
Carmack still owns the id company of the "Destroyer" developer, and an early prototype of the Rift was shown at E3 in 2012. The rough prototype shows the Doom 3 of the id: the BFG version runs on the VR. Luckey pointed out that he is not referring to the event itself, but if there is no Carmack software, the demonstration will not be possible. When asked if this was a breakthrough moment for the company, he replied: "I think you can call it a breakthrough moment in conventional understanding."
It is worth noting that ZeniMax questioned Luckey's claim against Oculus last year. The document claims that at the CES in 2013, Oculus "discovered false and strange stories to the media, such as Luckey, a brilliant inventor of VR technology, which he developed in his parents' garage." ZeniMax said the story It is "outright falsification" and Luckey lacks "training, resources or expertise to create commercially viable VR technology." Later, it was said that Luckey "has no substantial contribution to the creation of Rift."
Finally, Luckey said that he attaches great importance to the confidentiality agreement. However, Luckey himself faced legal proceedings after allegedly violating a contract with another company, Total Recall. Although his role at Oculus is still unclear, the company has said it will soon open his position.
Former Oculus CEO Brendan Iribe is also expected to appear in court this week.
