Michael Abrash Joins Oculus, Calls Facebook 'Final Piece of the Puzzle'
trawg writes: "Programming legend Michael Abrash has announced that he has joined the Oculus team to work on the Rift VR headset as Chief Scientist, and will be once again working with John Carmack to bring VR to life. His post covers a lot of ground, including the history of his quest for VR, and ends with his explanation of why he thinks the Facebook acquisition is ultimately a good thing — they have the engineering, resources and long-term commitment 'to solve the hard problems of VR.'"
Abrash has long maintained a blog about VR tech — it's worth reading if the subject matter interests you.
Python, Ruby on Rails, Classic ASP, cold fusion, or ASP.net the software would automatically be of higher quality?
People like you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to software, your entire argue is based on a stereotype. Not only that, but people such as yourself that stereotype a software based on the language it is written usually can not code 1 line in any language. A useless blogger/commentator riding the next popular named dick that comes along. Typical.
disclaimer, I'm a c++/java dev.
You must be fucking stupid. I'm guessing that since he hasn't released some bullshit html5 "app" or "framework" (lol JS) you don't know who he is. This guy's Graphics Programming Black Book is a must read for anyone who has even contemplated writing any sort of 3D renderer... Which you probably haven't, because even the likes of ThreeJS would be way, way above your tiny little head.
Today's 18-year old shiftless potheads have no idea who made what they take for granted.
All great advances are built upon other people's work, and the dope-addled idiots like "CanHasDIY" can only think far enough to make it into a topical joke.
