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.
Exactly.
Legend he is not.

Do you know who Bernard Sklar is? Leonard Danilewicz? No? That shows an unfortunate level of ignorance on the origins of digital communications and spread spectrum. Something I can assure you has a much wider scope of applications and industries than graphics programming (not even general processing) for PCs.
I can continue with a long list of other names you'd never heard of but who's work you and everyone else on this forum are using every single day, but it's pointless.
You, on the other hand, can all continue your little ego stroke though for a bit a trivia that people who don't work in a particular industry would never be reasonably expected to know.
