Watching movies on Oculus Rift will soon be less lonely

While women and people of color in Silicon Valley desperately try to show that being an engineer doesn’t mean you’re a 20-something white male, TIME, apparently, hasn’t been paying attention at all.

Despite the interview it seems all anyone can talk about is the cover.

The cover of the August 17 issue of Time features the headline “The Surprising Joy of Virtual Reality” with Oculus founder Palmer Luckey leaping in the air on the beach while wearing an Oculus Rift headset. “He’s a nerd all right, but not the kind who went to a top-ranked university, wrote brilliant code or studied business plans”. He’s a nerd from a different century. Which is true. Once we enter the virtual space of reality, our bodies are slightly disconnected from our minds that are completely absorbed by what the eyes see in the virtual realm.

If you have experienced Virtual Reality video by using VR headset, then you are aware that it feels pretty lonely.

The internet on the other hand warns that with one foul swoop it might be possible that TIME’s cover has undone all of Luckey’s work and ruined virtual reality for the entire world.
