Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus, unveiled a new VR headset at AWE2024. The headset is designed for military applications but will also be available to consumers. During his presentation with BigscreenVR's DShankar, Luckey discussed the origins of Oculus and shared insights on the VR industry, mentioning companies like MediaTek and the scale of mobile. He also reflected on the challenges of transitioning from a 'whiz-kid' to a 'whiz-man' and indicated that the new headset aims to compete with Varjo.
So @PalmerLuckey just announced a new #VR Headset based on military requirements but also available to consumers. Super excited about that. Wonder how "expensive" this is going to be. Hope it's consumer friendly! #AR #PalmerLucky
What would @PalmerLuckey do if he was starting in #VR now? Also, he’s building a military focused headset 😎 https://t.co/xQ4GteVOTI

Palmer’s new headset! Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like his unveiling will go the way we thought. 🤔 But I am still very excited for this development! What do you think.. Standalone or PCVR? #AWE2024 @ARealityEvent https://t.co/Sx9T3INso5
Another day of #AWE24 is starting! Today is the day of @PalmerLuckey! Will I succeed in my dream of finally having a picture with him? I mean, I managed to have a selfie with a giant chicken, so I started believing that everything is possible here... #VirtualReality #VR https://t.co/zyjgq0VVsM
Hmmm… @PalmerLuckey working with @DShankar to make a small standalone headset? Palmer announcing a headset during AWE. Would make sense. 🤔 https://t.co/NcL00QafkV
