Jason Rubin’s job as the head of studios at Oculus VR is to imagine the kind of games and other apps we’ll experience in virtual reality. He has helped line up a bunch of heavy-duty game studios, including Ready at Dawn and Insomniac Games, to create new experiences for the Oculus Rift virtual-reality headset.

He went on stage after numerous partners described the kind of games that they’re making for the launch of the Rift in early 2016. Rubin promises that the Rift will make next year an incredible one. Oculus will invest more than $10 million in independent games on the Rift.
