TNBS Rerun - Why Virtual Reality is cool again
Manage episode 335626759 series 1728025
VR roared back to life this decade due to the efforts of visionary teenager Palmer Luckey. Luckey built Oculus, sold to Facebook for $3 billion - then got fired. We talk to Palmer on next week's show.
In this TNBS re-run, Mark revisits an old episode in which he talks to author Blake Harris whose book 'The History of the Future' looks at Palmer and the founding of Oculus.
