Oculus CEO floats awkwardly on Time magazine cover

And so, with the release of the consumer Oculus Rift, set for early next year, the Oculus Cinema app will roll out more social, multiplayer-like features.

Palmer Luckey, the inventor behind virtual reality headset Oculus Rift recently featured on the cover of TIME magazine to talk about how the piece of tech will revolutionize the way we live, play and learn.

Here are just a couple of our favourite Time Magazine cover parodies.

Luckey told GameSpot on Friday he had no issue with the Time cover and that it wouldn’t hurt VR’s appeal to mainstream audiences.

Some are even suggesting Time may have killed the virtual reality movement.

Probably one of the most instantly admired and coveted apps for Oculus Rift, Oculus Cinema, will get a “multiplayer feature“.

We’re guessing that Segal actually had Luckey jump into the air in front of the mural to make it look like he’s floating on a beach. I think it’s fun. PCGamer calls the cover “the greatest threat to VR” because it “reinforces, rather than challenges, the perception that VR is a mask that nerds use to blot out the world”.

Twitter jokesters and industry alike have mocked the image, creating Photoshops and calling the cover, in 3D Realms co-founder George Broussard’s case, “the worst PR that virtual reality could ever have”.
