1. Someone grab that blond college guy and explain to him who John Carmack is!

2. love this series!

3. The logo on the shirt is augmented.

4. And here we have Carmack casually dropping a technical wall of text about VR to a 5 year old, lol

5. 7:27 WOW, that woman speaks too much fast, I've never seen this before. Looks like the video is 1.2x

6. Where’s my oculus rift 2 ?! Plus God bless you for Doom ?

7. We will not multiply the power overnight, but let's start to think how to create games that use the processor in 100% instead of 30 …
   
   I know more difficult for programmers, someone will say not possible but as the next consoles will have 16 threads, it will suddenly be possible …

8. Nobody:

   5 year old:

   OR IN MINECRAFT

9. I didnt know alton brown got into the vr game

10. Most important quote on this video was about specs vs. value to the user. Example of blue-ray and early youtube. As a engineer I too feel that struggle and that is also where our Finnish trageny Nokia fell.

    I just bought my first VR glasses, the new Oculus Rift S, as I felt that with the integrated sensors the technology is practical enough for me. But even more excited I am about the Guest and Go as those do not need the min. 1000€ gaming tower I happened to own already. Which means an upcoming explosion in quantity of artist and content as the other models are, I hope and think so at least, really appealing for the masses too.

11. You heard it here first. Facebook wants to fool people.

12. That five year old is the same size as my brother who is can’t say so how is he five

13. He is THE John Carmack, and you are just calling a VR engineer? I am offended!
    lol

14. This is not Virtual Reality Engineer. This is JOHN CARMACK. The legend himself.

15. To the young generation this is thee John Carmack!!!! The one who created the first 3D game engine!!! He started it all not to mention he’s the father of doom and the FPS genre
    This man deserves a noble prise

16. No I do not accept this. Girl you can not make an analogy between something as stupid as literature and something as genius as technology

17. So hardware caps will prevent a "ready player one" unless there is some magic breakthrough?

18. Don't underestimate human imagination. I still spend a lot of time day dreaming at 26. Low poly all the things!

19. VR engineer!? You should say john carmack in the title. Doom champion.

20. The kids had no idea they were talking to a living legend.

21. Computing < Art. I am very amazed at how little modern VR relies on mathematics and physics and optics, and how much is invested in animation and art at every microsecond of experience. Sometimes I convince myself that I am sitting at a machine for weeks while the image updates and the next frame comes in, in some kind of temporal stasis, and wonder at how old and outdated my simple body has become. I am an artifact, and these machines have mothballed me.

22. That boy is not 5

23. "vr engineer" ITS JOHN FUVKING CARMACK

24. This guy was terrible at explaining things to the kids. He used words like “hardware” and “render” lol have u ever met a kid

25. Doom reference

26. This dude has changed gaming on every level

27. I love oculus and love the experiences coming(games)

28. The father of doom!!!!

29. Me *hears that that the kid said Minecraft * not bad kid

30. 5 year old really? ?????

31. at least the kid said minecraft and not fortnite. we should be proud

32. Carmack is such a legend

33. "Where we can really fool people."

34. You guys are tripping. There was nothing annoying about how Level 4 talked; she brought up some interesting things.

35. That 5 year old looks 10

36. Joooohn Caaaarrrmaaack!

37. The 5yr old looks 13

38. "VR Engineer". It's f'ing John Carmack!

39. 5 year old?

40. That first kid is at least eight, no way he’s five

41. This guy isn’t great at explaining things to kids. The entire last 3 minutes of the first kid went right over his head…crickets the whole time

42. That five year old is huge!

43. Bells and whistle aside: Flying and connecting with one another or a self created semi-engaging avatar where our own magical thinking fills i the gaps will be the core elements driving the VR space. Powerful freedom of movement and the feeling of being paid total attention to. Unfortunately the human mind is so drawn to duplicity that for a person to allow their own unbridled man made identity to create another extension of "itself" turns VR into a denial trap with 2 locked doors. If we were given a Maserati to drive we would still be into building a Fredfintsone mobile even if it is a faaaarrrrrrr cry form our amazing human experience.
    The human mind is such a wonderful thing, when information is imputed….its… never lost…..you simply need to know the right….place…to look…for…."IT".

44. Did the wahman grad student get the job?
