Oculus VR founder Palmer Luckey leaves Facebook

Luckey’s out.

Palmer Luckey, who founded Oculus Rift and who many credit with reviving the virtual reality industry, has left Oculus VR and Facebook, as UploadVR reports. Facebook and Luckey are not sharing the details of the split, but it comes after months of silence from what the social network once positioned as the father of VR. Facebook stopped presenting Luckey at events or even mentioning him following revelations that he was financially supporting a group of political “shitposters” during the United States presidential election.
